Using GNSS to Evaluate Threats to Mobility of Resources and People on Coastal Roads in USDOT Region 10
The objective of this research is to develop a new technique to assess the hazard intensity of coastal erosion hotspots to existing and planned coastal roadways by continuously monitoring coastal water levels and wave heights using a new remote sensing technique with land-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The proposed technique will measure nearshore water levels and wave heights using land-based and easily mobilized GNSS, which is an all-weather, continuous, global radio satellite system. GNSS is a remote sensing technique. GNSS is easy to install and maintain. GNSS can continuously monitor during storms without being in destructive sea-states (like tide gages and coastal buoys), or depending on optical clarity (like cameras).
