Thomas Laczo, hydraulic engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, assesses impacts on a sand dune in Ocean City, Maryland, as part of a team conducting post-storm damage assessments of the Atlantic Coast of Maryland Shoreline Protection Project Jan.27, 2016 after a powerful winter storm nicknamed “Winter Storm Jonas.” The dune and beach berm in front of it provide a buffer to help reduce the impacts of coastal storms on homes and infrastructure behind the berm and dune system.
