Responding to 2020 Hurricanes
During the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, which took place from June 1 to November 30, the USGS worked with partners and emergency managers to protect lives and property by providing science and building capabilities that reduce risk and improve situational awareness.
Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast expands to include more than a thousand miles of new coverage
The Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecasts have been extended across an additional 1,700 km of US coastline to provide coastal change hazards predictions to coastal communities.
Explore Coastal Change in Alaska
A new geonarrative shows how USGS Coastal Change Hazards research is directly addressing the ability to understand, measure and project coastal change in permafrost regions.

Improved Resilience in Active 2020 Hurricane Season due to Science Investments from 2017 Hurricane Recovery Funds
The record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is the first on record in which 9 tropical storms formed before August and 13 before September. Investments made in USGS coastal change science after the powerful 2017 hurricane season were focused on improving hazards planning for future storms.
Our Nation’s Coasts – Take a Tour
The USGS is excited to present a series of Coastal Change Hazards geonarratives that will take you on a journey to learn more about coastal change and the related research we conduct across our Nation’s coasts.

USGS Introduces a National Approach to Coastal Change Hazards (CCH) Science
Coastal Change Hazards addresses the needs of our Nation’s coastlines
The USGS formally announces the establishment of a program focus on Coastal Change Hazards to coordinate research and tools needed to respond to challenges related to risks and hazards along our Nation's coastlines.
New Model Shows Sea-level Rise Can Cause Increases in Groundwater Levels along California’s Coasts
A new model that combines sea-level rise scenarios and information about associated groundwater level responses shows that coastal water tables will rise as groundwater levels are pushed up by landward intrusions of seawater due to sea-level rise.
