For publication dates see records for individual geographic regions.
NGDC's U.S. Coastal Relief Model (CRM) provides the first comprehensive view of the U.S. coastal zone integrating offshore
bathymetry with land topography into a seamless representation of the coast. The CRM spans the U.S. East and West Coasts,
the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, reaching out to, and in places even beyond, the continental
slope. Bathymetric and topographic data sources include: NGDC's NOS hydrographic surveys, multibeam bathymetry, and trackline
bathymetry; the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); and other federal government agencies and academic institutions. Bathymetric
contours from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico project were also used. Digital
elevation models (DEMs) of the Great Lakes, Southern Alaska, and high-resolution DEMs of U.S. coastal communities and territories
are also available.
To provide long-term scientific data stewardship for the Nation's geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility.

National Geophysical Data Center.

This is a tiled map service showing color shaded relief visualizations of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs)
of U.S. coastal regions. NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) builds and distributes high-resolution coastal digital
elevation models (DEMs) that integrate ocean bathymetry and land topography to support NOAA's mission to understand and predict
changes in Earth's environment, and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social,
and environmental needs. They can be used for modeling of coastal processes (tsunami inundation, storm surge, sea-level rise,
contaminant dispersal, etc.), ecosystems management and habitat research, coastal and marine spatial planning, and hazard
mitigation and community preparedness. DEMs included in this visualization: High-resolution DEMs of select U.S. coastal communities
and surrounding areas. Most are at a resolution of 1/3 to 1 arc-second (approx 10-30 m); U.S. Coastal Relief Model: A 3 arc-second
(approx 90 m) comprehensive view of the conterminous U.S. coastal zone, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii; Southern Alaska Coastal Relief
Model: A 24 arc-second (approx. 500 m) model of Southern Alaska, spanning the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska.
This map service can be used as a basemap. It has a transparent background, so it can also be shown as a layer on top of a
different basemap. Please see NGDC's corresponding DEM Footprints map service for polygon footprints and more information
about the individual DEMs used to create this composite view.
