Summary

[edit]
Description
English: USGS ​iCoast — ​Hurricane season is currently underway. Do you know what happens to our coasts after these extreme storms? The USGS has launched a new crowdsourcing application called "iCoast – Did the Coast Change?” to show you these coastal changes from extreme storms.

iCoast allows citizen scientists to identify changes to the coast by comparing aerial photographs taken before and after storms.

Crowdsourced data from iCoast will help USGS improve predictive models of coastal change and educate the public about the vulnerability of coastal communities to extreme storms.

Get started today by visiting on.doi.gov/iCoast.
