Erosion exposure assessment of infrastructure in Alaska coastal communities

DGGS Report of Investigation 2021-3, Erosion exposure assessment of infrastructure in Alaska coastal communities, provides estimated erosion exposure for 48 communities from the Bering to the Beaufort seas. The Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys conducted a shoreline change assessment to forecast 20-, 40-, and 60-year erosion estimates using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS; Himmelstoss and others, 2018), and estimated the replacement cost of infrastructure in the forecast area. The geodatabase includes mean erosion forecasts and maximum uncertainties for 38 communities along with infrastructure locations and classification derived from Alaska Division of Community & Regional Affairs digital mapping products (DCRA, 2021) for 44 communities. All files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30672
