AKA: none
Other ID: T-M2-09-AR
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Arctic bluff retreat (MU012)
Principal Investigator(s): Li Erikson, Curt Storlazzi
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Li Erikson
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Environmental Data: Current, Environmental Data: Wave, Imagery: Photo, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To obtain baseline measurements and support research contributing to the development of a predictive model of Arctic bluff retreat and inundation of barrier islands due to the a changing global climate on the North Slope of Alaska.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Barrow, Alaska
End Port/Location: Barrow, Alaska
Start Date: 2009-09-30
End Date: 2009-10-05
Equipment Used: RTK GPS, Nortek AWAC, camera, tripod
Information to be Derived: Beach Topography, bluff edge position, sediment grain size
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Recovery of bottom-mounted instruments from TM109AR, beach topography, and sediment sampling. Used bed sediment camera for sediment grain size measurements.
Staff: Li Erikson, Thomas Reiss, Curt Storlazzi

| RTK GPS | --- | LIDAR Transects Benchmarks Profiles Navigation | Elevation data (Beach and foreshore elevation data were collected in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 8 km to the northeast was measured in August 2009. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 5 km to the northeast was measured in October 2009. The elevation data were collected with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 m. Data are available in a single csv file.) |

Post-survey calculations of salinity were made from the conductivity measurements.) |
