coastal change in Arctic coastal environments. <span style="background:white">The Fellow will have freedom to develop a research focus most befitting to their background and interests and that is grounded in the USGS mission of providing timely science that
is socially relevant, impactful for decision making, and addresses the information needs of Arctic residents. Potential directions include, but are not limited to, advancing a suite of USGS tools related to coastal processes and further enhancing our understanding
of these dynamic coastal environments, permafrost degradation, hydrologic and oceanographic controls of erosion, and isotopic tracking techniques to assess material fluxes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></h1>
