description:
|
This raster dataset visualizes sediment runoff potential based on landcover, slope, soil characteristics, road density, erosivity, and precipitation in individual watersheds based on an analysis from the earlier US Caribbean project "Summit to Sea." A simple diffusion model determined patterns of coral exposure to runoff. Higher values are places more susceptible to runoff from sediments. |
