Project Title: Storm Surge, Ocean Wave, and Weather Remodeling of Coastal Sandy Beach in the Eastern
Climate change is expected to alter weather patterns leading to changes in the paths and frequency of storms in the Bering Sea. Such changes are reflected in the observations by people in Native villages along the coast that these storms are now more frequent, of greater magnitude, and extend the us...
