Integrated coastal climate change vulnerability assessment data: George Washington Birthplace National Monument
Ricci G, Gaines S, Babson A. 2024. Integrated coastal climate change vulnerability assessment data: George Washington Birthplace National Monument. National Park Service
A climate change vulnerability assessment which integrated issues across natural resources, cultural resources, and facility assets, was conducted between March and July 2022 for George Washington Birthplace National Monument. This was a rapid assessment using existing data and expert knowledge to understand the general trends in vulnerability across three time frames – 2022, 2050, and 2100. Scores for components of vulnerability (exposure and sensitivity) and adaptive capacity for each resource, by stressor and accompanying notes based on workshops are included. Climate stressors used to assess vulnerability included sea level rise (SLR), storm surge, flooding, erosion rates, precipitation and temperature changes. This EXCEL File contains the raw data to support the main report with tabs each for Natural Resources, Cultural Resources and Facilities for each time frame.
