Description
Storm impact survey data for selected Alaska coastal communities in response to Extra-Tropical Cyclone Merbok, September 2022, Raw Data File 2022-14, presents Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) high-water mark (HWM) locations and elevations, coastal profile transects, observed erosion evidence, and ground elevation points for the communities of Golovin, Hooper Bay, Newtok, Nome, Shaktoolik, Stebbins, and Teller, Alaska. These data were collected in the wake of Extra-Tropical Storm Merbok between September 19 and September 23, 2022 by Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), with assistance from the Alaska Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The GNSS positional data were collected to assess coastal impacts from the storm. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30909.
