CMHRP Links with Other Mission Areas
Strategy: Coordinate with other USGS Mission Areas and Programs to understand and predict the complex interactions within coastal and marine systems and the environmental and human consequences of natural and human processes.
There are several emerging and established opportunities for collaborative prioritization, planning, and program development with other Mission Areas.

GSN Data
Waveform data from the GSN and ANSS backbone are transmitted from the station to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in near-real time, where they are used for rapid earthquake response. A small number of stations do not have telemetry, and data from those sites are transmitted to the USGS via media such as tapes or CDs. As part of GSN and backbone operations, waveform data are...

Sediment Resources
Erosion of sandy beaches and barrier islands has resulted in substantial economic (damage to homes and infrastructure) and ecological (loss of habitat for nesting shorebirds and sea turtles) impacts along much of the U.S. coastline. To slow or halt land loss, stakeholders commonly nourish beaches using sand from the continental shelf. Offshore sand and gravel is also mined as aggregate for...
