Images showing examples of the varying ecosystems, morphologies, and human development that comprise the coastal landscape and require accounting for in regional to national projections of change (credit: Betsy Boynton, U.S. Geological Survey). Image locations are as follows: eroding permafrost coast at Barter Island, AK, USA; sandy beaches and vegetated dunes at Fire Island, NY, USA; rocky beaches and headland at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; wash over and road damage at Rodanthe, NC, USA following Hurricane Irene in 2011; tidal wetlands and forested uplands at Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge, FL, USA; cliff backed beaches at Point Reyes National Seashore, CA, USA, vegetated estuarine shoreline at Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge, FL, USA.
