Other ID: K-3-94-HW

Status: Completed

Organization(s):

Funding Program(s): Coastal Erosion and Pollution in Low-Latitude Environments (MU053), Coastal Change Hazards (MU051)

Principal Investigator(s): Bruce Richmond

Affiliate Investigator(s): Chip Fletcher (University of Hawaii)

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Profiles, Location-Elevation: Transects, Sonar: Single Beam, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Chemistry, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Re-profile beach profiles that were initially established in the early 1960s and establish new profile baselines for monitoring and quantification of shoreline changes during the passage of extreme events on the islands of Oahu and Maui. The profile data will also be used to quantify results of historical shoreline changes using aerial photographs.

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 27 coastal sites on Oahu that were established in the summer of 1994 were re-profiled and GPS positions were recorded. 20 new profile sites were established on Maui and data collected included: beach profiles, offshore fathometer profiles where accessible, GPS location of site reference marks, and a minimum of 3 surface sediment samples per site.
