The EPA Coastal Elevation Data Set

Here you can download most of the EPA coastal data set which was used to create the elevation maps that were published in the February 2008 draft report on sea level rise by the US Climate Change Research Program. If you are not sure whether you want this data, you may want to start by reading the metadata, as well as the Titus and Wang paper in the EPA background report. The elevation data set for North Carolina is somewhat larger than that of the other states, so we are not currently making it available here. If you need that data as well, we suggest you contact EPA. Just click on that link and then type your request into the white box called "*Question". The DVDs that EPA sends also include the sea level rise planning data and the data used to create all the elevation maps of counties in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
