In June/December 2021 and July 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (USACE-ERDC) conducted repeat, nearshore geologic assessments, including bathymetric mapping, near Duck, North Carolina (NC). This work was performed in support of efforts to map the shoreface, characterize stratigraphy, and investigate changes in seafloor elevations near the USACE Field Research Facility and to measure the co-evolution of the morphology and ...
