Scale of the data set:

1:100000

Rights:

As a EUROSION assignment, this layer is publicly available inside and outside the European Commission.

Methodology:

Source data have been severely checked and corrected. Double control on the quality of the produced database is currently ensured. This version has been geometrically modified using ESRI's ArcMap spatial adjustment on SABE 2001 v1.0 coastline. Spatial adjustment method used was "rubbersheet".

Coordinate reference system:

EPSG:4258

Data sources

EUROSION was a project commissioned by the General Directorate Environment of the European Commission 2002-2004.

The layer mainly results from an update of CORINE Coastal Erosion version 1.0 (CCEr v1.0). CCEr v1.0 was carried out by the European Commission from 1985 to 1990. This version covers European Union countries as of 1990. The update of CCEr version 1.0 and the extension of the database to countries which joined EU after 1990 and to accession countries was part of EUROSION assignments. These new or updated data are mainly derived from ancillary data such as national geological maps, reports, or existing database (such as FutureCoast for England and Wales).

Owners:

Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV)

Additional information

Both a geomorphological and a geological code is assigned to each segment. 20 different geomorphological types (and thus codes) and 13 geological types have been defined. 2) This layer features both erosion trends and the existence of coastal defence works along the coast. 3 codes have been defined to depict erosion trends (stable, erosion, accretion) and 2 codes to depict coastal defence works (presence, absence). Both layers are provided at scale 1:100,000, in vector format, and consists in a segmentation of the EUROSION shoreline.
Geographical coverage note: Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and ultra-peripheral regions are only covered 20%. Also, only EU25 countries with coast are included in the data set.
