Understanding the causes of relative sea level rise requires knowledge of changes to both land (uplift and subsidence) and sea level. However, measurements of coastal uplift or subsidence are almost completely lacking in western Alaska. This project provided precise measurements of prioritized benchmarks across the Western Alaska geography, improving the network of published tidal benchmark elevations, allowing for tidal datum conversion in more places, and providing a necessary component for improved inundation studies in coastal communities and low-lying areas. The project’s map of vertical velocities (uplift/subsidence) of western Alaska (see ‘Final Project Report’ & ‘Vertical Velocity Map’, below) will be combined...

Western Alaska is a remote region with many small, isolated communities situated in low-lying coastal environments that are sensitive to variations in local relative sea level (RSL). Quantification of RSL variation requires measured vertical velocities for both tectonic motion (onshore component) and the ocean surface (offshore component). During the summers of 2013 and 2014, campaign GPS surveys of geodetic benchmarks were undertaken to produce statistically significant velocity measurements of the tectonic component of sea level change for the region. Occupations of tidal benchmarks were also conducted to compare historic tidal records from the mid-1900s to more recent data. Preliminary results from the GPS survey...

Static occupations of tidal and geodetic benchmarks in Western Alaska were undertaken in the summers of 2013 and 2014. Project accomplishments far exceeded the proposed project objective of obtaining and sharing data for benchmarks in 8 different communities; in total, this work has resulted in the occupation of 44 benchmarks in 15 different communities. 32 of these datasets met National Geodetic Survey (NGS) minimum criteria for ‘shared solutions’ and have been uploaded to the Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) shared public database. This data has also been used to augment the tidal datum conversion database at the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) and the scientific geodetic database...
