Late Quaternary variability in coastal changes along the Texas Gulf coast
The majority of the coastal barriers in Texas are retreating landwards, only a few are stable or progradational. The barriers are responding to both external (allogenic) forcings such as relative sea-level and sediment supply, and internal (autogenic) basinal mechanisms such as antecedent …
