Analysis and modeling of hurricane impacts on a coastal Louisiana lake bottom
Tropical cyclone impacts on wetland, terrestrial, and shelf systems have been previously studied and reasonably delineated, but little is known about the response of coastal lakes to storm events. For the first time, tropical cyclone impacts on a shallow coastal lake in the Louisiana coastal plain …

Response of the Texas coast to global change: Geologic versus historic timescales
… along the upper Texas coast. It appears that hurricane washover and offshore sand deposits are minimal sand sinks, while flood-tidal deltas are areas of significant sand sequestration. Additionally, it appears that damming of rivers has had only a minimal effect on sedimentation along the …

Recovery from Minor Tropical Cyclones: the Response of Faith-based Organizations and Government Agencies to Minor Tropical Cyclones in Biloxi, Mississippi
<p>The impacts of major hurricanes are extensively researched in Disaster Resilience literature and the field of Human Geography; in contrast, the aftermath of minor tropical cyclones is understudied. Along the Gulf Coast in 2020 and 2021, more minor tropical cyclones made landfall then major …

Vegetative Community and Health Assessment of a Constructed Juncus-Dominated Salt Marsh in The Northern Gulf Of Mexico
… since 1850, largely driven by tropical storm and hurricane impacts as well as sea level rise. The United States Army Corps of Engineers and Mississippi Department of Marine Resources have targeted the shores of the island as sites for restoration using beneficial use dredged material, and two …

Modern Fair-Weather and Storm Sediment Transport Around Ship Island, Mississippi: Implications for Coastal Habitats and Restoration Efforts
… rise, decreased sediment supply, and frequent hurricane impacts. These three factors drive unprecedented rates of morphology change and ecosystem reduction. All islands in the chain have experienced land loss on the order of hectares per year since records began in the 1840s. In 1969, Hurricane …

Determining the Viability of Recent Storms as Modern Analogues for North-Central Gulf of Mexico Paleotempestology Through Sedimentary Analysis and Storm Surge Reconstruction
… (1969) and Katrina (2005) are two notable hurricanes that made landfall in virtually the same location in Mississippi. However, fully understanding the risks and processes associated with hurricane impacts is impeded by a short and fragmented instrumental record. Paleotempestology could …

Bioturbation in Supratidal Carbonates: Georadar Characterization of the Patterns and Structure of Decapod Burrows
… ichnocoenoses, as exemplified by intense hurricane impacts (2015/2016); 2) recognition and mapping of similar biogenic structures in buried or lithified carbonates and, 3) quantification of a near-surface ichnofabric index and the dual porosity/permeability structure of prospective …

Behavioral Response of Hotel Employees to Hurricane Warnings on Grand Cayman, The Cayman Islands
… community, particularly on a small island where hurricane impacts are experienced acutely and in ways other than on the mainland. Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman Islands, thrives on its financial and tourism industries. The Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort and The Ritz-Carlton, …

Coastal Overwash: Processes and Modelling
… the local beach or dune crest height. The impacts of overwash on coastal barriers or low lying mainland coasts are striking. Overwash may cause deposition of sand on and landward of the beach crest, large fan shaped deposits on back barriers, large sheet like deposits over an entire …
