This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), provides beach profile data collected at Sand Key Beach in Clearwater, Florida. Data were collected on foot by a person equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna affixed to a surveying backpack outfitted for surveying location and elevation data (XYZ) along...

These datasets contain information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation, and overwash) for each 100-meter (m) section of the Puerto Rico open-ocean coastline for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model (Sallenger, 2000; https://www.jstor.org/stable/4300099) that uses observations of beach morphology combined with...

This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provides beach profile data collected at Madeira Beach, Florida. Data were collected by a walking person equipped with a Global Positioning System receiver and a GPS antenna affixed to a surveying backpack. The horizontal position data are given in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM...

The National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project aims to understand and forecast coastal landscape change. This dataset delineates coastal cliff features (cliff tops, toes, and 3D elevation transects) to assess the hazard posed by eroding coastal cliffs in Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques. The delineation of cliff tops and toes can be used as an input into cliff hazard metrics...
