A Deep-Learning Model Cascade for Automating Large-Scale Shoreline Mapping From Satellite Imagery
1 Introduction Satellite imagery provides the longest continuous record of coastal change worldwide and has been increasingly leveraged alongside machine learning (ML) in the last decade for shoreline extraction and the construction of large-scale shoreline change records (Bishop-Taylor et al., 2021; Luijendijk et al., 2018; Vitousek, Buscombe, et al., 2023).
Decades of satellite imagery show how groins reshape California beaches
Media Conceptualization of observed longshore transport and shoreline patterns around groin fields at each study site in Southern California. Click "View Media Details" for figure explanation. Groins are designed to interrupt the movement of sand along the shoreline, known as longshore sediment transport. Waves approaching the coast at an angle can move sand parallel to the beach.

Sharon Batiste On the Advice She’d Give Her Younger Self
Setting an intention each day helps me get quality sleep. I’ve learned that it’s important to not only set the intention, but to also follow through and do the intention. For me, that means setting time each evening to pray and reflect on an accomplishment of the day, or an opportunity I had to lend a helping hand. Reserving this time allows my mind a reprieve from the busyness of the day, and gives my mind, body, and spirit time to settle in for a more restful night’s sleep.
