Time-series imagery of the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana
Detailed Description
This time series of Landsat satellite imagery shows changes at the northern Chandeleur Islands resulting from storm events and berm construction. We use remote-sensing datasets to extract information such as land area, land-cover, and beach or marsh widths and track how those features change through time.

Barrier Island Sensitivity to Changes in Sediment Supply
Observations and models show that maintaining barrier islands requires a balance between sea-level rise and sediment supply. However, most estimates of sediment supply are not based on modern conditions, which could result in less accurate predictions of sediment fluxes. We explore how natural and human alterations impact modern sediment fluxes, or changes, on barrier islands – research that has...
