Environmental drivers of coastal evolution
Coastal evolution is shaped by the processes that influence sediment transport at coastlines. The present morphology, sedimentology, and distribution of modern coastal landforms reflect the influence of Holocene environmental processes that have altered the availability and movement of sediment at …

Coastal evolution on Earth and Titan
… modified the coast. This thesis investigates how coastal processes can leave fingerprints on the morphology of a coast in sandy environments (barrier islands) and detachment-limited environments (rocky coasts of Earth and possibly Titan). Barrier islands are dynamic and ephemeral, facing an …

Late Quaternary Evolution and Stratigraphic Framework Influence on Coastal Systems along the North-Central Gulf of Mexico, USA
<p>Coastal systems in the Gulf of Mexico are threatened to reduced sediment supply, storm impacts and relative sea level rise (RSLR). The geologic record can provide insights of geomorphic threshold crossings (formation, progradation, transgression, destruction) to these forcing mechanisms to …

Relative sea level, sediment supply and barrier dynamics as driving mechanisms of Holocene coastal change.
… population pressure lead to regional and local coastal responses that pose major challenges for the future resilience of coastal landscapes, increasing the vulnerability of communities, infrastructure and nature conservation interests. Improving understanding of coastline evolution in the past, …

High-frequency Quaternary climate changes: a key to understanding present and future coastal scenarios
… an integrated, multi-archive reconstruction of coastal sedimentary sequences in Sardinia, spanning the Middle–Late Pleistocene to historical timescales, and addressing the gap between long-term sea-level trends and high-frequency coastal responses. In particular, it explores how coastal …

Gravel barrier dynamics, coastal erosion and flooding risk
… the influence of gravel barrier dynamics on coastal erosion and flooding risk. Establishing the potential for coastal landforms to provide effective risk reduction is salient given growing momentum behind coastal management approaches seeking to incorporate ‘natural’ processes and landforms …
