The Coastal Science Navigator Companion Guide introduces you to USGS coastal change hazards-related products—including interactive data maps, downloadable software, geonarratives, and more. It's organized by timescale, highlighting products relevant to the present, past, and future, although many cover multiple timescales.

Chris Sherwood, Athina Lange, and Jin-Si Over look at a monitor hooked up to the CoastCams overlooking Marconi Beach on Cape Cod National Seashore. They are aligning the two stationary video cameras so there is a slight overlap in the look angle.
