Long Island satellite derived shorelines by year
Western ends of each site showing the overall accretion using QGIS. See legend for color corresponding dates. The first continuous shoreline for each respective year was used for the visualization. (a) Rockaway Peninsula, (b) Long Beach, (c) Jones Beach Island.

Coastal hazard exposure across SE Atlantic coast of US
Figure a) Coastal flooding (no storm), shallow groundwater exposure and erosion (unimpeded model case) for 1.00 m of SLR (that is, the Intermediate scenario projected for 210014), and observed vertical land motion (VLM) across the Southeast Atlantic coast.

NOPP Hurricane Coastal Impacts Geonarrative
As powerful hurricanes approach the coast, they generate elevated water levels and dangerous wave conditions that can cause extensive flooding, significant landscape changes, and destruction of property.

Hybrid coral reef restoration: A cost-effective, nature-based solution to protect people and property (AD)
linkCoral reef restoration can protect hundreds of millions of dollars of coastal property and business activity annually from storm-driven flooding.
It can protect thousands of people, especially children, the elderly, minorities, and those below the poverty line. Thus, coral reef restoration is a mechanism to provide environmental equity.

USGS Sediment Core Laboratory (AD)
USGS scientists collect core samples from estuaries, lakes, coasts, and marine environments to study a range of physical and chemical properties preserved in sediment or coral over time. They process and analyze these core samples at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center’s Sediment Core Lab.

Nuvuk video camera 2 dark image
Two video cameras are installed atop a utility pole near the northernmost point of land in the United States at Nuvuk (Point Barrow), Alaska. The cameras point northwest toward the Arctic Ocean and the boundary between the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Every half hour during daylight hours, the cameras collect snapshots and video for 10 minutes.
