Erosion tends to be site-specific. Yet, with careful observation and measurement, a particular problem can be placed in context and draw from the...

Nearshore Bathymetry derived from Video Imagery

Owing to the economic importance of seasonal fluctuations in beach width and the frequent implementation of local beach and shoreface nourishments, coastal managers and scientists increasingly demand coastal state information at smaller spatiotemporal scales. Advanced, automated video techniques provide the means to collect such high-resolution...
