Assessment of barrier island morphological change in northern Alaska
Drivers of extreme water levels in a large, urban, high-energy coastal estuary – A case study of the San Francisco Bay
Multiple climate change-driven tipping points for coastal systems
Global-scale changes to extreme ocean wave events due to anthropogenic warming
Assessment of flood forecast products for a coupled tributary-Coastal model
USGS permafrost research determines the risks of permafrost thaw to biologic and hydrologic resources
The effect of changing sea ice on wave climate trends along Alaska's central Beaufort Sea coast
Changing storm conditions in response to projected 21st century climate change and the potential impact on an arctic barrier island–lagoon system—A pilot study for Arey Island and Lagoon, eastern Arctic Alaska
Impacts of sea-level rise on the tidal reach of California coastal rivers using the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS)
Modeling sediment bypassing around idealized rocky headlands
Toward a national coastal hazard forecast of total water levels
Assessing patterns of annual change to permafrost bluffs along the North Slope coast of Alaska using high-resolution imagery and elevation models
Coastal permafrost bluffs at Barter Island, on the North Slope, Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska are among the most rapidly eroding along Alaska’s coast, having retreated up to 132 m between 1955 and 2015. Here we quantify rates and patterns of change over a single year using very-high resolution orthophotomosaics and co-registered surface elevation models derived from a survey-grade form of structure
