Oblique aerial photographs at Little St. Simons Island, Georgia

Detailed Description

Location 3: Oblique aerial photographs at Little St. Simons Island, Georgia. Oblique aerial photographs collected before (top) and after (bottom) Hurricane Matthew. A combination of long-term erosion and storm-induced waves and water levels has resulted in shoreline retreat. The red arrow points to the same line of vegetation in both photos, denoting the loss of the seaward-most dunes. The yellow arrows points to a boat wreckage that was demolished and buried.
