Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) dataset for Cumberland Island National Seashore (cuis_shore)

A coastal vulnerability index (CVI) was used to map the relative vulnerability of the coast to future sea-level rise within Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia. The CVI ranks the following in terms of their physical contribution to sea-level rise-related coastal change: geomorphology, reg...
