MS student Jessica Gorski assisted fellow NOPP collaborators at University of Georgia with field work on Jekyll Island, Georgia. The team surveyed a large portion of the beach and deployed several sensors to measure wave runup. Jekyll Island experienced significant storm-driven erosion during the 2022 Hurricane Season and these elevation data points will be used to evaluate the erosional impact of two recent storms (Hurricanes Ian and Nicole).
