Applications of Digital Elevation Models and Geographic Information Systems to Coastal Flood Studies along the Shoreline Of Raritan Bay, New Jersey

摘要

Geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly used in coastal hazard research for coastal management and for analysis of information following major storm events because of their ability to evaluate multiple data sets. Digital flood zone data sets and qualitative post storm flood water level observations exist for Raritan Bay, New Jersey, an urban estuary.
