Oblique aerial photographs at Pritchards Island, South Carolina

Detailed Description

Location 2: Oblique aerial photographs at Pritchards Island, South Carolina. Oblique aerial photographs collected before (top) and after (bottom) Hurricane Matthew. In the five years between photographs, the line of vegetation has moved landward as trees exposed to saltwater have died. The lack of vegetation allowed further erosion and overwash during Hurricane Matthew. The yellow arrows in each image points to the same features in both photos.
