Detailed Description

Aerial photographs taken of Assateague Island National Seashore before (top) and after (bottom) Hurricane Sandy. Overwash deposits can be seen in the after photo and are evidence of landward sand transport. The yellow arrows point to the same feature and provide a reference for how far the sand has moved.
