CoastSeg, an innovative interactive browser-based program created by USGS and partners, aims to promote and democratize the adoption of satellite-derived shoreline detection workflows among coastal scientists and resource management practitioners: ow.ly/25yC50SAsju

New research from the USGS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service evaluates the response of benthic invertebrates to the largest #estuary and #tidalmarsh #restoration project in the #PacificNorthwest at Washington’s #NisquallyRiverDelta: ow.ly/roMn50SFfE6

Erosion of marsh boundaries by waves is a major cause of marsh loss, but little research captures the effect of seasonal differences on marsh-edge retreat. A study by USGS, UC Berkeley shows how seasonal climate variations in #SFBay influence erosion: ow.ly/7KzT50SHtJO

New study identifies pivotal parameters that signify the onset of the #Anthropocene epoch, including range shifts for marine and terrestrial species, rapid ecological shifts due to climate change, and the spread of non-native species: ow.ly/arGn50SJmrj

The #USGS is hiring a Geologist for the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center in #WoodsHole, MA. Get more information in the job posting and apply on #USAJOBS by August 2! ow.ly/h2Vv50SKvXv #STEMjobs #jobsearch #sciencecareers #jobposting #jobs

Like a natural #seismograph, sediments in lakes and marine settings can record past #earthquake activity, helping USGS scientists better understand the frequency and intensity of movement along a fault. Learn more about the project: ow.ly/84zZ50SQa5T

New study investigates how sand supply in #SanFranciscoBay reversed from largely fluvial sources to offshore sources as sea level rose during the early Holocene, coupled with anthropogenic changes that altered sediment transport in the late Holocene: ow.ly/wfH650SSbS5

In a newly published study, we provide a workflow for utilizing modern #photogrammetry to create detailed, virtual geological outcrops hundreds or thousands of meters long from archived video images! 🌊🕵️ ow.ly/2R9S50SSlTG #USGS #deepsea #marinescience #seafloormapping

New study from @UCSC, @Nature_org, and USGS quantifies the social and economic benefits that #coralreefs provide to coastal communities of the #USVirginIslands, finding that coral reef restoration reduces risks of wave-driven flooding and other hazards: ow.ly/ywsV50SURa7

#TropicalStormErnesto is projected to impact the U.S. #VirginIslands and #PuertoRico today. 🚨 #USGS #CoastCams and associated wave and water level observation in real-time are available for Dorado and Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. ow.ly/Pugf50SXGHo ow.ly/wY9q50SXGHn

#Forecasts of potential #coastalchange impacts for the Atlantic coast are showing some predicted #erosion and #overwash as large swells from #Ernesto arrive over the weekend. Check the #USGS Total Water Level/Coastal Change Forecast Viewer for details. ow.ly/GN8e50SXGML

Scientists use gouge cores to investigate sediment stratigraphy in marshes and other terrestrial areas. Sediments preserved in coastal settings such as the lower Eel River valley, CA, may preserve evidence of past seismic activity like subsidence or tsunamis. #FieldworkFriday

New USGS research documents a 14,000-year history of seismic activity preserved in the sediments of WA State's Ozette Lake, providing crucial insights into the long-term seismic behavior of the northern #CascadiaSubductionZone: ow.ly/Jn8P50T8MPk

Join our virtual event on September 12, 2024 from 10am-4pm Eastern Time to explore diverse career paths and learn about USGS science in the Southeast. Visit the event’s webpage to register, view the agenda, and learn more. ow.ly/22Em50T9YiP #USGS

Drones in action! We’re with USGS Coastal Change at the Clearview landfill at the Lower Darby Creek Area Superfund site where drones are helping us collect data for elevation models + a vegetation survey.

Two new studies from USGS and partners quantify #erosion from increased #wildfire activity coupled with extreme rain events in #California, leading to heightened sediment flow in rivers: ow.ly/U8rr50TaVnb

New study: @UCSC and USGS researchers investigate how #coralreefs affect shoreline #erosion in the #HawaiianIslands, analyzing >80yrs of coastal data to show how reefs offer significant protection during storms while often reducing long-term erosion: ow.ly/7yiQ50TfwcT

#TropicalStormFrancine is forecast to impact #Texas, #Louisiana, and #Mississippi. Explore potential impacts using the #USGS #CoastalChangeHazards Portal and the Total Water Level and #CoastalChange #Forecast Viewer. ow.ly/F9Xj50Tl7QN ow.ly/7cC750Tl7QM

This year’s Woods Hole Science Stroll was a hit! 🥳 Read our recap and view photos from the 2024 event. ow.ly/fFwJ50Tn8lT #USGS #outreach #WoodsHoleScienceStroll #ScienceStroll

Before #HurricaneFrancine made landfall, #USGS scientists installed 4 cameras, 10 pressure sensors, and a meteorological station on #BretonIsland, #LA to monitor and measure storm conditions. The photos show the island before, during, and after the passage of the #hurricane.
