First trip to the North Slope to see permafrost bluff coastal erosion at Wainwright and Utqiagvik. #coastalchange
I can’t remember what was so funny, but that is what makes fieldwork great. @akdggs Showing how the secchi disk is done. #coastalchange #alaska #fieldwork #alaskascience #usgs #usgscoastalchange
Getting sunburns while surveying in unalakleet, it was a scorcher! Measuring #coastalchange since storm in February. #coastalstorms #coastalflooding #alaska

This orthorectified aerial imagery shows the difference in coastline in Newtok, Alaska in the 50s vs. 2015.

DGGS' Coastal Hazards scientist @ColdCoastsAK studies #coastalerosion using orthorectified imagery, as shown below for the western Alaska community of Kwigillingok.
#Orthorectifiedimages are geometrically corrected so the scale is uniform & can be used to measure distance.
