| description:
|
This 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.
These data were used to calculate resilience scores for the US Virgin Islands Coral Reef Resilience Prioritization project.
The US Virgin Islands (USVI) Coral Reef Resilience Prioritization project identified coral reefs and underwater habitats in the USVI that may have high resilience properties and potential to withstand current and forecasted climate change conditions, such as thermal stress, increased wave action, and coral disease outbreaks.
