Justin Birchler
Justin Birchler is a Physical Scientist at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center.
For the last decade, he has been part of the National Assessment of Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards project. His work in this project includes:
- Producing real-time forecasts and scenario-based predictions of coastal total water level and geomorphic change during storms.
- Analysis of lidar-derived measures of coastal change.
- Installing and maintaining USGS CoastCam sites and processing imagery obtained from coastcams.

National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: South Carolina to New Hampshire update
These data sets contain information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation and overwash) for each 1-km section of the U.S. coast for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model that uses observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast will respond to the direct landfall of
