Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, and Dauphin Island, Alabama, July 24, 2010

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On July 24, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, and Dauphin Island, Alabama, aboard a Beechcraft BE90 King Air aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (152 meters) and approximately 1,200 feet (366 meters) offshore to collect baseline data.
