Signatures of land-ocean interactions in coastal morphology
Studying coastal and island evolution in response to environmental drivers offers numerous scientific and societal benefits, as coasts are among the most densely populated regions on Earth. Quantifying surface processes is essential for understanding large-scale landscape development and …

Object-Based Coastal Morphological Change Analysis Based on LiDAR and Hurricane Events
… climatic events that have a dramatic impact on coastal morphology, hence they require further investigation and quantifying of coastal changes and responses. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is the most advanced technology to be widely used by researchers for coastal geomorphological studies. …

Estuarine Dynamics as a Function of Barrier Island Transgression and Wetland Loss: Understanding the Transport and Exchange Processes
The Northern Gulf of Mexico and coastal Louisiana are experiencing accelerated relative sea level rise rates; therefore, the region is ideal for modeling the global affects of sea level rise (SLR) on estuarine dynamics in a transgressive barrier island setting. The field methods and numerical …

Sediment circulation in mixed gravel and shingle bayhead beaches on the South East Dorset coast.
… considers energy inputs, sediment transport and coastal morphology, under conditions of limited sediment supply and a "closed cell" situation. Onshore field investigations using conventional methods of surface sediment sampling, together with beach profiling, platform and cliff measurements …

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, …

Detecting and Modeling Landfast Ice in the Alaskan Bering Sea
… summer – is a central feature in the ecology, geomorphology, and climatology of the Bering Sea. In this region's coastal zones, sea ice becomes locked into a stationary position against the coastlines to become landfast ice, which influences bioegophysical processes in the region, as well as …

Understanding the source and distribution of marine macro-plastics in coastal environments
… litter can enter the open ocean directly, or via coastal waters and then through numerous hydrological processes is transported to the open ocean, and potentially dispersed vast distances. The spatial and temporal variability of plastic marine litter is complex due to the interaction between …
