Tidal hydrodynamic response to sea level rise and coastal geomorphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Sea level rise (SLR) has the potential to affect coastal environments in a multitude of ways, including submergence, increased flooding, and increased shoreline erosion. Low-lying coastal environments such as the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) are particularly vulnerable to the effects of SLR, …

Data-driven prediction of saltmarsh morphodynamics
… broad scope are now available to the field of coastal geomorphology through the combination of spatial data streams and machine learning. Such methods are shown to be of great potential value in support of applied management and monitoring interventions.

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 …

Neogene seismotectonics of the south-central Chile margin : subduction-related processes over various temporal and spatial scales
… time scales in the Main Cordillera and coastal forearc of the south-central Andes. For both domains I document the existence of previously unrecognized active faults and present estimates of deformation rates and fault kinematics. Furthermore these data are correlated to address …

Decadal-scale evolution of a barrier island : Insights from storm overwash and shoreline change on Ocracoke Island, NC
Eastern North Carolina has over 300 km of barrier islands that comprise the Outer Banks and act as an important buffer from the Atlantic Ocean and boundary to the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. These islands also draw millions of visitors and dollars to the state every year. With sea-level …

Making an Impact: Coastal Cliff Response to Individual Wave Impacts
Understanding and predicting coastal cliff retreat remains a challenging field in coastal geomorphology. Efforts to link process drivers to erosion are confounded by the complexity of processes operating, slow rates of morphological change, and the difficulty of direct field observations. Waves are …

Variations and trends in the sensitivity of machair soils and coastal landforms to erosion, South Uist, Outer Hebrides
The machair is a coastal grassland system found only in parts of northern and western Scotland and Ireland. Despite its limited geographic distribution, machair landscapes have high ecological, geomorphological, and cultural significance, as recognised by numerous conservation designations and …

Geomorphologic evolution of a rapidly deteriorating barrier island system with multiple sediment sources: Eastern Isles Dernieres, Louisiana, 1887 to 2006
<p>Trinity, East, and Wine Islands make up the eastern half of the Isles Dernieres barrier arc in south-central Louisiana. Formed following the abandonment of the Lafourche delta complex, subsidence and storm erosion have led to rapid deterioration of the system. Since 1887, the land area of the …

Sedimentological Characteristics and 3-D Internal Architecture of Washover Deposits from Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne
Extensive overwash occurred along Florida's Atlantic and northern Gulf facing barrier islands during the passages of Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne in 2004. These high-energy storm events provided a unique opportunity to study the spatial depositional patterns and internal sedimentary …

Response and Recovery of Horn and Petit Bois Islands, Mississippi, USA to Tropical Cyclone Impacts: 2004 – 2016
<p>Horn and Petit Bois islands are two of five Mississippi (MS) barrier islands that provide physical protection from tropical cyclones threatening the MS Gulf Coast, in addition to critical habitat for the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). In September 2004, Hurricane Ivan removed a large volume of …
