The Monitor Newsletter - Vol. 13 | Issue September 2023
September is Preparedness Month. Be prepared for hurricanes and the threats they pose. Learn about storm tides, flooding, coastal erosion, mapping, hurricanes and climate, coral as natural infrastructure, Hurricane Idalia, tools to prepare communities and more.
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season is here
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
USGS science can inform communities of the coastal change hurricanes may bring
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
Hurricane Idalia
The latest science and information related to Hurricane Idalia (2023).
The USGS collects critical information about storm tides, one of the most serious hurricane threats to people and infrastructure
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
Hurricane Ian’s Scientific Silver Lining
Hurricane Ian took a tragic toll on lives, property, and coastal environments in southwest Florida and the South Atlantic coast of the U.S. Scientists at USGS are analyzing the event to better understand how extreme storms impact our coasts, so we can be better prepared for the next one.
The USGS collects hurricane induced flood data along the coast and far inland
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
The USGS estimates potential spread of invasive species carried by hurricane-induced flooding
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
The USGS determines the extent of hurricane-induced flooding, which can help communities better prepare for future floods
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
The USGS provides maps and imagery for hurricane response
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. Throughout the season, the U.S. Geological Survey will be providing science that can help guide efforts to protect lives and property if a storm threatens the U.S.
A window of opportunity to build coastal resilience: how to optimize coral restoration to reduce impacts of sea-level rise
Restoration efforts are being implemented on coral reefs around the globe, and science is needed to ensure their success. A new U.S. Geological Survey led study in Buck Island Reef National Monument shows what it would take for coral restoration to increase reef growth enough for them to keep pace with projected sea-level rise and mitigate future storm-driven flooding on reef-lined coasts.
Now Available: Coastal Science Navigator
The U.S. Geological Survey’s Coastal Science Navigator is now available! The Navigator serves as a gateway to USGS Coastal Change Hazards resources and assists users in finding products and tools that will meet their specific needs.
USGS looks back 2,000 years to study the relationship between hurricanes and climate
In recognition of National Hurricane Preparedness Week, which is April 30 to May 6 this year, learn how scientists are looking back thousands of years to gain a better understanding of hurricane patterns and how climate change could impact future storm activity. Knowing what has happened in the past gives insight on potential storm intensity and occurrence in the future.
