Northern Alaska Coastal Erosion Threatens Habitat and Infrastructure
Evaluation of the extreme erosion along the northern coast of Alaska. In a new study published July 2015, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found that the remote northern Alaska coast has some of the highest shoreline-erosion rates in the nation. Analyzing more than half a century of...
