An illustrated account of the work of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center during 2021, this complete annual report brings together field research, scientific tools and the people studying coastal and marine environments. It shows how observations of beaches, wetlands and the seabed contribute to understanding changing shorelines.
The report follows projects involving coastal flooding and erosion, sediment movement, seafloor mapping, nearshore surveys and the exchange of greenhouse gases between salt marshes and the atmosphere. Photographs accompany descriptions of scientific activities and new approaches, including drone training and measurements made in challenging coastal settings. The annual format provides a snapshot of the center’s research and technical capabilities rather than a general travel guide. This original report was first published in 2022 and retains its complete pages and illustration credits.
