A Collection of Storm Erosion Field Data
This report presents a collection of field survey data that quantifies the effects of 13 unique storm events on from two to seven beaches along the North Atlantic coast of the United States. The beaches include Nauset Beach, Massachusetts; Misquamicut Beach, Rhode Island; Westhampton and Jones Beach...
