Webinar Abstract
Web cameras are a low-cost technology that can be used for coastal science & observation, including to study and document water levels and flooding impacts to coastal communities and infrastructure. Camera imagery can be paired with water level data to show the extent of flooding and give context to water level recordings. Web camera imagery can also be used to derive information about wave runup, total water levels, and shoreline change. A community in Charleston, SC has used web cameras to document flooding, and paired them with water level and air quality sensors to more holistically understand the environment and risks to human health.
