Interactive Map Supports NOAA Sentinel Site Program

October 5, 2018

NGS created a dynamic web-based map of Surface Elevation Table (SET) sampling stations for the Chesapeake Bay Sentinel Site Cooperative (CBSSC). SETs are portable mechanical devices that yield long-term, precise measurements of surface elevation changes, which prove crucial in the effort to increase our understanding of coastal habitat responses to sea-level changes. This online map makes the CBSSC's SET resources public, allowing users to better understand and respond to the effects of a changing environment.
