Module 3 Lab

Introduction

In this lab, you will examine a sandy shoreline's dynamics. Two types of data will be explored: shoreline erosion using Google Earth timeline and shoreline elevation change data produced from elevation profiles. These two types of data yield a great deal of information about the dynamics of a sandy, wave-dominated shoreline and reveal trends in the erosion and deposition of sediment.
