Detailed Description

Section of Big Hickory Beach in Bonita Beach, Florida, before and after Hurricane Ian, 2022. The island endured severe damage and coastal change from the storm including overwashed sand and erosion. The Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program uses remote sensing techniques such as satellite and aerial imagery to analyze changes to the coast as a result of these storms.

Remote Sensing Coastal Change

We use remote-sensing technologies—such as aerial photography, satellite imagery, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and lidar (laser-based surveying)—to measure coastal change along U.S. shorelines.
