Beach-dune interactions and a new cycle of foredune evolution, Gulf County, Florida
Coastal foredunes are important natural resources that serve as nature’s first line of defense against powerful storms, protecting inland development and human populations. With the ever-increasing possibility of sea-level rise and the potential for increased frequency of major tropical storms, …

Effects of Grazing by Feral Horses on Dune and Salt Marsh Vegetation at Cumberland Island, Georgia
… sampled in 1 X 2m quadrats in two subhabitats: foredune/interdune and high/low marsh. Dune surveys measured and analyzed species richness, total percent cover of vegetation, and percent cover of species observed grazed. Salt marsh surveys measured and analyzed species composition, species …

Effects of human development on aeolian sediment transport rates within an adjacent undeveloped backshore enclave
… lost during high magnitude storms. Subsequent foredune growth in these enclaves is critical to providing protection to landward development. Conditions for foredune growth and sediment flux within an enclave can be influenced by the presence of adjacent buildings. The objectives of this …

CHARACTERIZING PATTERNS IN TEXAS GULF COAST BEACH DUNE PLANT SPECIES COMPOSITION
… NMDS, and ISA for fives zones representing the foredune complex of twenty Gulf Coast beaches. ANOVA revealed that zones differ in terms of percent bare sand, percent vegetative cover, and species richness. Cluster Analysis, ANOSIM, and SIMPER results indicate that Texas beaches can be divided …

Sedimentological Characteristics and 3-D Internal Architecture of Washover Deposits from Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne
… dominates the beach and seaward side of the foredune, and is characterized by a basal erosional surface and seaward dipping planar stratification. Back-berm facies extends landward from the dune crest down the backside of the foredune, exhibits little evidence of erosion along the basal …

Decadal-scale evolution of a barrier island : Insights from storm overwash and shoreline change on Ocracoke Island, NC
… scale based on storm surge, waves and maximum foredune height. The average long-term shoreline change rate for all of Ocracoke Island was determined to be - 0.54 m/yr. The majority of the island has been eroding (over 65% of transects), and the average erosion rate was greatest in the most …
