Southern California Beach Processes Study (SCBPS)

Learn about SCBPS efforts to understand beach sand transport and improve sandy shorelines' management to address erosion threats in Southern California. Explore surveys, beach nourishment, and elevation changes at Torrey Pines and San Onofre. Utilize LIDAR technology for comprehensive data analysis and planning for coastal resilience. Collaboration with CDIP, Scripps, and University of Texas ensures accurate monitoring and effective decision-making.
