Detailed Description

Location 1: Oblique aerial photographs at Pritchards Inlet, South Carolina. Oblique aerial photographs collected before (top) and after (bottom) Hurricane Matthew. Storm waves and surge overwashed the low elevation dunes depositing sand in the marsh. Changes to the inlet and shoals are likely due to a combination of long term and storm-induced coastal processes. The yellow arrows in each image points to the same features in both photos.
