Alaska Coastal Geohazards Program
Project Details
Project ID:
908
Nickname/Abbreviation:
Coastal hazards
Parent Project:
Engineering Geology Section programs and projects
Status:
Ongoing
Description:
Geohazards evaluation and geologic mapping program in support of local and regional planning for coastal villages. Ongoing investigations and baseline mapping efforts will expand understanding of how the coastline has evolved and how it will respond to future short-term and long-term changes.
Project Date(s):
