Methods
Orthorectified 1997 aerial photography
Mosaic photos together
Register 1948 photos to 1997 photos
Digitize shorelines and bluff bottoms
Analyze difference in shoreline locations
Horizontal accuracy ca. 3.5 m

No erosion south of gravel pit
High erosion at bluffs in Barrow
Aggradation in Browerville
Erosion is not continuous, it’s episodic
Short-term erosion vs. long-term erosion, problems are different
![Page 16: An Analysis of Coastal Erosion Along the Chukchi Coast at Barrow, Alaska Leanne R. Lestak, William F. Manley, James A. Maslanik, Amanda H. Lynch and Timothy.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b7b7f8b9ab0599b9101/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why is there no change
south of the gravel pit?

Future work
This data is yours (NSB, High School, BASC) This is a preliminary study We will have intervening photo years:
29 July 1949 14 Aug 1955 Summer 1962 14 July 1964 15 July 1979 Summer 2002 (Quickbird image)

Future work
Study will extend up to Point Barrow Is this study reasonable? What else should we look at?
