@kwilson_coasts Books. Information before the internet!

[Jacquelyn Overbeck @ColdCoastsAK]

@kwilson_coasts This was definitely my experience.

@ossiferous_ak First photo is Wainwright second is Utqiagvik

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

Roberta Glenn will be starting a masters degree working on community based monitoring, enhancing how community members and scientists work together to answer the questions of how our environment is changing. https://t.co/rPh6W5jjVn

Kicking off the field season with a day trip to #Kotzebue to fix our water level sensor #coastalchange #alaskafieldseason

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

More info about orthorectified imagery can be found here: https://t.co/DIGVHjjbMe

[Alaska DGGS @akdggs]

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.

[Alaska DGGS @akdggs]

The successful applicant will use knowledge of coastal geomorphology, GIS geospatial data analysis and processing, & airborne/satellite remote sensing products to make meaningful contributions to the Coastal Hazards Program. More info, and to apply: https://t.co/rYp8AQQ8lQ

[Alaska DGGS @akdggs]

We're #hiring a Geologist I in Anchorage to work in the Coastal Hazards Program contributing to coastal shoreline change and natural hazard studies. This is a long-term nonpermanent position (at least 2 yrs). More info, and to apply: https://t.co/rYp8AQQ8lQ

[Jacquelyn Overbeck @ColdCoastsAK]

There was a major coastal storm that hit western Alaska today. Camera shows sea ice berm forming from the waves. #argus #coastalstorm #alaska #coastalchange https://t.co/7Ndu0n18I1

[Jacquelyn Overbeck @ColdCoastsAK]

Does this make anyone want to study wave dynamics on the cold coasts?!? https://t.co/EgcYSBb8eu #waves #coldcoasts

[Jacquelyn Overbeck @ColdCoastsAK]

Glad I listened to @AlaskaMedia economic report this morning, and heard @sdoownek . I hope the Netherlands are treating you well!

[Jacquelyn Overbeck @ColdCoastsAK]

@sdoownek Oh the possibilities!

[Alaska Earthquake Center @AKearthquake]

The websites will take a bit to catch up, but for now we're going with a magnitude of 7.0 and a location about 10 miles north of Anchorage. The website is overwhelmed with traffic currently, so watch here for updates.
