To assess our #sedimenttransport prediction techniques, #USGS scientists deployed a high-tech instrument off #SandyNeckBeach in Barnstable, Massachusetts from March-April 2021 to measure water velocity, temperature, and salinity, wave pressure, tidal force, seabed changes, and sediment characteristics.

Marconi Beach CoastCam Maintenance
The USGS uses a nationwide network of coastal observing cameras (CoastCams) to monitor coastal conditions in near real-time and support research on a variety of coastal processes and hazards.

Social Media: Biogeomorphic salt marsh model
A new study introduces a cutting-edge biogeomorphic model (UBMorph) to help predict how #ChesapeakeBay #saltmarshes will change over time. Using UBMorph, researchers found that 404 square kilometers (37%) of vegetated #marsh area in Chesapeake Bay could be lost by 2110.

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.
