Detailed Description

Location 2: Oblique aerial photographs at Sea Island, Georgia. Oblique aerial photographs collected before (top) and after (bottom) Hurricane Matthew. Storm waves and surge eroded the seaward-most dune, exposing the marsh platform, and allowing sand to overwash into the marsh. The yellow and red arrows in each image point to the same locations in both photos.
