Potential Wave Impacts On Shorelines In Intertidal Waterways
… a deficit in the sediment balance along coastal shorelines. Within the intertidal waterway of Jacksonville, Florida, the primary processes acting on the shoreline are tidal currents and waves generated by winds and passing vessels. This study focuses on the analysis of vessel-generated waves and …

A Parameterized Approach to Estimating Wave Attenuation from Living Shorelines
Living shorelines and other nature-based solutions have become more widely accepted as a cost-effective, multi-functional, and sustainable approach to coastal resilience. However, in spite of growing stakeholder support, a planning-level understanding of the hydrodynamic impact of living shorelines …

A Comparison of Natural, Living, and Hardened Shorelines Ability to Prevent Coastal Erosion and Maintain a Healthy Ecosystem
… on two manmade methods, hardened, and living shorelines, of coastal protection for when the natural marsh suffers excess erosion rates. Living shorelines are a suite of shoreline conservation and restoration techniques that usually involve some sort of hardened structure that dampens wave …

Late Quaternary marine deposits, offshore central Texas: Processes controlling geometry, distribution, and preservation potential
… cores suggests that transgressive and highstand shorelines prograded during the Holocene. The preservation of these deposits may be likely given the geometry and distribution of older, offshore shorelines. The Stage 5d and Stage 3 highstand shorelines prograded during an overall sea-level fall. …

Effects of shoreline development and freshwater discharge on nekton assemblage and trophic structure in a northern Gulf of Mexico estuary
… have begun incentivizing the use of living shorelines (LS), erosion control structures incorporating native plantings, to mitigate ecological consequences of marsh loss. However, post-restoration climate changes may shift habitat templates and negate positive effects of ecosystem …

Nearshore Sedimentology of Eroding Microtidal Estuaries: Bon Secour Bay, Alabama and Perdido Bay, Florida
<p>Estuarine shorelines along the northern Gulf of Mexico are dynamic geologic settings that provide numerous ecological and economic benefits. By definition, estuaries are semi-enclosed bodies of water that receive sediment from two sources: (1) fluvial systems feeding into the estuary and (2) …

Laboratory studies of the biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil: effect of droplet size and nutrient amendment
Oil spills could have devastating effects on the shorelines, and for this reason, chemical dispersants are commonly used to disperse the oil slick in the water column, preventing it from reaching the shorelines. However, the long term fate of dispersed oil depends on its biodegradation by …

An Analysis of Shoreline Change at Little Lagoon, Alabama
… shoreline" applies to the Gulf shoreline and the shorelines of estuaries, bays, and sounds connected to the Gulf of Mexico and subject to its tides. However, Alabama shoreline studies have yet to include Little Lagoon, which has been connected to the Gulf of Mexico for most of the last 200 years, …

Coastal Erosion Hazard in Bangladesh: Space-time pattern analysis and empirical forecasting, impacts on land use/cover, and human risk perception
… data and the time horizons of predicted shorelines. Chapter 3 evaluates historical land loss and how well predicted shorelines predict amounts of succeeding LULC resources lost to erosion. Chapter 4 focuses on the patterns and drivers of erosion risk perception using data from spatially …

Time Scales and Processes of Shoreline Formation in Pluvial Lakes of the Great Basin, Western USA
… construction of beach ridges along lacustrine shorelines and compares the volume of individual shoreline features to the lengths of time under which they formed. Maximum fetch distances of < 50 km limit waves generated in these basins. Waves that are capable of significant geomorphic work are …

Modeling Cle Elum Reservoir Shoreline Erosion: GIS Analysis to Support Cultural and Environmental Resource Management, Yakima Basin, Washington
… of airphotos and fieldwork to identify erosional shorelines. Erosion was verified in the field using a video survey as well as indicators such as shoreline slope, sediment size, and nearshore width. Near-term erosional segments were identified by more rapidly receding bluffs while long-term …

Spatio-temporal analysis of coastal sediment erosion in Cape Town through remote sensing and geoinformation science
… of land and ocean components to extract shorelines from multispectral Landsat imagery for a long term (1991-2021) shoreline assessment. The DSAS tool used these extracted shorelines to quantify shoreline change and was able to determine an overall averaged erosional rate of 2.56m/yr. for …
