Collapsed natural arch of Punta Ventana, Guayanilla, Puerto Rico
Collapsed natural arch of Punta Ventana, Guayanilla, Puerto RicoThe starting view is from January, 1970, a field photo of Punta Ventana (“Window Point”) at Guayanilla, Puerto Rico (Monroe, 1980). The image fades to the March 5, 2020 color photo of the same location (ten Brink, 2020). The natural arch had collapsed from earthquake shaking on January 6, 2020 during the 2020 Southwest Puerto Rico Earthquake Sequence.

Flyover of the U.S. Coastline
Our Nation’s coastlines are almost 100,000 miles long. These extensive coastal areas stretch from Maine’s Atlantic shores in the northeast, south along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and insular areas in the Caribbean.

Marconi Beach video camera 1 dark image
Two video cameras are mounted on a bluff above Marconi Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet, MA. Every half hour, the video cameras collect imagery for 10 minutes. This is the “dark” image, the darkest pixel values throughout the video, useful for tracking sediment plumes, tracking floating debris, and filtering out breaking waves.

Two video cameras are mounted on a bluff above Marconi Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet, MA. Every half hour during daylight hours, the video camera collects imagery for 10 minutes and processes it. This is the snapshot image, like a photo, taken at the beginning of the 10-minute window and looking east.
