Categorization of slush-ice berm formation on the west coast of Alaska
This project engaged several Western Alaska coastal communities to describe types and formation processes associated with near-shore sea-ice phenomena during the fall freeze-up season, in particular as relevant to coastal erosion, flooding, and shoreline protection. Commentary and indigenous and local observations were drawn from and analyzed through existing community observing programs (SIZONet and ANTHC-LEO) as well as from new interviews and meetings conducted for this project. Extensive work was performed to summarize, assess, and synthesize written and recorded observations and commentary.
