| Purpose | Ongoing post-Sandy beach recovery assessment; GPR survey and vibracore collection to characterize alongshore geologic variability and integrate onshore geology with surf zone and nearshore datasets | ||||||||
| Location | Fire Island, NY | ||||||||
| Summary | Collected repeat beach profiles and shorelines; 16 vibracores and 9 sand auger push cores from shoreface and beach environments; and 90 GPR profiles from beach and back-barrier settings. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Beach elevation, subsurface profiles, sediment thickness | ||||||||
