Coastal Bluff Erosion at Kalaloch Presentation and Discussion – Forks Branch Library

Join Dr. Ian Miller as he presents his research on Kalaloch's coastal bluff erosion.

Learn how the shoreline erosion at Kalaloch presents a variety of management problems, placing buildings and recreational infrastructure at risk. The coastal bluffs at Kalaloch have been eroding at various rates since at least since 1974 based on available analyses of the site. A variety of approaches have been employed to monitor and understand patterns of erosion of the bluffs at Kalaloch that will be summarized in this presentation, including ground surveys with GNSS, which have been conducted at least twice annually, and often seasonally, since 2013.
