Study region with GTSM-ERA5 output locations marked as black circles and tide gauge locations marked as blue squares. Gray labels denote NOAA designated tide gauge station IDs. Information on tide gauges, including ID number, latitude, longitude, and the date when observations start, are listed in the table to the right of the map.

USGS scientists collect core samples from estuaries, lakes, coasts, and marine environments to study a range of physical and chemical properties preserved in sediment or coral over time. They process and analyze these core samples at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center’s Sediment Core Lab.

Two video cameras are installed atop a utility pole near the northernmost point of land in the United States at Nuvuk (Point Barrow), Alaska. The cameras point northwest toward the Arctic Ocean and the boundary between the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Every half hour during daylight hours, the cameras collect snapshots and video for 10 minutes.
