Datasets to Inform Participatory Engagement to Reduce Communication Gaps in Puerto Rico
As an effort to improve the accessibility of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resources to communities in Puerto Rico, a research team held a virtual internal meeting amongst USGS colleagues (organized with a professional facilitator) to identify and gather information on existing USGS natural hazards data, knowledge, and tools available for Puerto Rico. As a result, a bilingual website gathering all
National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: Puerto Rico
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 sophistica
