Assessing Coastal Vulnerabilities 

• Erosion exposure assessment of infrastructure in Alaska coastal communities
• The Alaska Department of Geological and Geophysical Surveys has several online tools that provide information about coastal hazards, including; Alaska Shoreline Change Tool, Alaska Coastal Profile Tool, Color-Indexed Elevation Maps for Flood Communication, and Alaska Tidal Datum Calculator.
• The North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI) is to improve the scientific and regulatory understanding of Alaska’s North Slope in the context of resource development and environmental change and to identify data and information products that management agencies and governments will need in the future.
