The U.S. Geological Survey was recently awarded funds to investigate the rate of erosion along the east coast of the United States that resulted from Superstorm Sandy. The Department of the Interior awarded $22.4 million to nine USGS projects that will help to support the rebuilding process by delivering high-resolution topographical surveys, evaluating ecosystem resiliency, and providing enhanced storm monitoring, among other services.
