USGS Has Data and Tools to Help Coastal Communities Prepare Read the Article New Software Tool for Delineating Coastal Cliff Features The Coastal Change Hazards team created the tool and user guide News Story New study on sea level rise-driven coastal groundwater hazards The slow, upward creep threatens homes, roadbeds, rivers, and deeper aquifers Learn More Featured Photos and Videos A collection of our spectacular photographs and informative videos Photos and Videos We conduct multidisciplinary scientific research in the coastal and offshore areas of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, and other US Pacific Islands; and in other waterways of the United States. A new model that combines sea-level rise scenarios and information about associated groundwater level responses shows that coastal water tables will rise as groundwater levels are pushed up by landward intrusions of seawater due to sea-level rise. USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP) scientists were able to safely venture out to collect beach elevations, geochemistry samples for wildfire contamination, water, soil, and meteorological data, offshore bathymetric and seismic data, ocean, lake, and bay sediment samples, and more, from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California, to Massachusetts, New York, and... Year Published: 2020 Spectral wave-driven bedload transport across a coral reef flat/lagoon complex Coral reefs are an important source of sediment for reef-lined coasts by helping to maintain beaches while also providing protection in the form of wave energy dissipation. Understanding the mechanisms by which sediment is delivered to the coast as well as better constraining the total volumes generated are critical for projecting future coastal... Rosenberger, Kurt J.; Storlazzi, Curt D.; Cheriton, Olivia; Pomeroy, Andrew; Hansen, Jeff E.; Lowe, Ryan; Buckley, Mark Attribution: Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center Year Published: 2020 Modeling three-dimensional flow over spur-and-groove morphology Spur-and-groove (SAG) morphology characterizes the fore reef of many coral reefs worldwide. Although the existence and geometrical properties of SAG have been well documented, an understanding of the hydrodynamics over them is limited. Here, the three-dimensional flow patterns over SAG formations, and a sensitivity of those patterns to waves,... da Silva, Renan; Storlazzi, Curt D.; Rogers, Justin S.; Reyns, Johan; McCall, Robert T. Attribution: Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center Year Published: 2020 Littoral sediment from rivers: Patterns, rates and processes of river mouth morphodynamics Rivers provide important sediment inputs to many littoral cells, thereby replenishing sand and gravel of beaches around the world. However, there is limited information about the patterns and processes of littoral-grade sediment transfer from rivers into coastal systems. Here I address these information gaps by examining topographic and... Warrick, Jonathan Attribution: Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
