Ecosystem Services Analyst, Jess Silver provides an overview and demonstration of the InVEST Coastal Vulnerability model.
The InVEST Coastal Vulnerability model uses geophysical and natural habitat characteristics of coastal landscapes to compare their exposure to erosion and flooding in severe weather. When overlaid with data on coastal population density, the model’s outputs can be used to identify where humans face higher risks of damage from storm waves and surge.
