National Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise: Preliminary Results for the U.S. Pacific Coast

Figure 10.   Map of the coastal slope variable for the San Francisco - Monterey region. The coastal slope is relatively steep (low risk) in the Monterey region and at the rocky headlands to the south of San Francisco, but is quite low (high risk) at the open ocean coast at the mouth of San Francisco Bay.
