Using Video Imagery to Study Sediment Transport and Wave Dynamics: Nuvuk (Point Barrow)
Two coastal observing video cameras were installed atop a utility pole near the northernmost point of land in the United States, at Nuvuk (Point Barrow), Alaska. The cameras pointed northwest toward the Arctic Ocean and the boundary between the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, and were used to observe and quantify coastal processes such as wave run-up, bluff erosion, movement of sandbars and ice floes...
