Here are some USGS Web pages with more information on storms and Anywhere:

Using remote sensing to detect active dust storms and map areas vulnerable to eolian erosion Links to remote sensing images monitoring dust storms and wind erosion. (Score: 1.000)

Hurricane and extreme storm impact studies: coastal and nearshore mapping with oblique aerial video and still photography Information on video and still photography used to supplement laser altimetry measurements of the coast. The photography is used for recognizing geomorphic and cultural features impacted by storms. Links to photo collections of hurricanes and El Nino. (Score: 0.690)

Remote video monitoring Links to remote video monitoring field stations with video and water level data, plus links to image processing software tools, processed video examples, and other uses of video descriptions. (Score: 0.690)

USGS hurricanes and coastal storm websites Links to list of web sites related to storms including real-time streamflow, water quality, coastal vulnerability maps, landslides, El Nino, reports, and information on specific storms. (Score: 0.690)

Hurricane and extreme storm impact studies Homepage for programs of the Center for Coastal Geology on hurricanes and extreme storms with links to technology, related aerial photography, hurricanes, El Nino, northeasters, and specific storms. (Score: 0.640)

Hurricane and extreme storm impact studies: coastal and nearshore mapping with scanning airborne laser (LIDAR) Airborne scanning laser surveys (LIDAR) are used to obtaining data to investigate the magnitude and causes of coastal changes that occur during severe storms. Links to examples of coastal mapping during specific hurricanes. (Score: 0.640)

Hurricane and extreme storm impact studies: hurricanes, El-Nio, & northeasters Description of three types of severe coastal storm impacts: hurricane impacts on the southeast U.S., extra-tropical storm impacts on the U.S. west coast during El-Nio winters, and northeaster impacts on the U.S. east coast. (Score: 0.640)

National assessment of coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise: preliminary results of the U.S. Atlantic coast Brief report on map showing the relative vulnerability of the Atlantic coast to changes due to future rise in sea-level. Includes links to similar maps in Open-file report 2000-178 on the Pacific Coast and 2000-179 on the Gulf of Mexico Coast. (Score: 0.612)
