Hello, I noticed that sample data is not provided for sea level rise (coastal vulnerability model). Does anyone have any sample data so I can understand better what is required?

All the best

Hi @elsacarla , I don’t have a dataset handy, but I can describe it. It needs to be a point vector (i.e. shapefile, gpkg, etc) and the attribute table needs a column of numeric values. The column name can be anything you want.

The values could represent a SLR rate, or net rise/fall, or any other metric of interest. The model will simply use the range of values to assign a rank (from 1 - 5), as described in this table: [Coastal Vulnerability Model — InVEST documentation](http://releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/en/coastal_vulnerability.html#ranking-table)

Best,
