A basic description of how the USGS arrived at their Coastal Vulnerability Index along with a map of the East Coast risk assessment and some pictures to illustrate some of the variables. A useful overview.

PDFUS3 | These standards are intended to assist in selecting, specifying, building, operating, or enhancing trusted repositories for USGS digital scientific assets. This document includes a table for use by Bureau scientists and management (in collaboration with information technology (IT) staff) in the technical evaluation of systems for preserving these digital assets. The table establishes the minimum USGS standards for a trusted digital repository (refer to Level Three in the table show more below). The standards in the table are based on material from the Library of Congress-sponsored National Digital Stewardship Alliance (National Digital Stewardship Alliance, 2013). These standards do not cover physical data or address topics such as preservation policies, funding, or organizational competency and longevity, which are critical for data preservation but beyond the scope of this document |
