Connecticut’s Coast: Then and Now…

… is a new CLEAR story map that guides you through a comparison of scanned 1934 aerial photos of Connecticut’s shoreline with current imagery.  It briefly describes the process, the history of this one-of-a-kind dataset (the statewide 1934 aerials) and coastal processes.  Next, areas of change including marshes, beaches and new land are described and highlighted with “swipes” that allow you to make side-by-side comparisons. Finally, visit ten locations with a time series of multiple dates starting in 1880 and view the coast through the unique perspective of Lidar elevation.
