摘要
In the UK,coastal flooding and erosion are two of the primary climate-related hazards to communities,businesses,and infrastructure.To better address the ramifications of those hazards,now and into the future,the UK needs to transform its scattered,frag-mented coastal data resources into a systematic,integrated portal for quality-assured,pub-licly accessible open data.Such a portal would support analyses of coastal risk and resilience by hosting,in addition to data layers for coastal flooding and erosion,a diverse array of spatial datasets for building footprints,infrastructure networks,land use,popula-tion,and various socio-economic measures and indicators derived from survey and census data.The portal would facilitate novel combinations of spatial data layers to yield scientifi-cally,societally,and economically beneficial insights into UK coastal systems.
