The Effect Of Tidal Inlets On Open Coast Storm Surge Hydrographs: A Case Study Of Hurricane Ivan (2004)
… tide hydrographs for coastal waters surrounding tidal inlets along the coast of Florida. These hydrographs are used as open ocean boundary conditions for local bridge scour models. At present, very little information is available on the effect that tidal inlets have on these open coast storm tide …

Sensitivity of the Estuarine-shelf Exchange in Mississippi Coastal Waters to River Diversions and Linkage Pathway Bathymetry: A Modeling Study
… transport and salt transport along the seven tidal inlets in 2019 by using msbCOAWST, the specifically designed coupled model’s configuration to simulate the complex hydrodynamic environment in the MS Sound and Bight. This year is marked by extreme events of the Bonnet Carré Spillway (BCS) …

Long and Short-Term Morphologic Evolution and Stratigraphic Architecture of a Transgressive Tidal Inlet, Little Pass Timbalier, Louisiana
… barrier island shorelines can be attributed to tidal inlet processes, and therefore an understanding of these processes is important to effectively manage barrier systems. High rates of relative sea-level rise within the Mississippi River delta plain have resulted in rapid landwardmigration of …

Geomorphologic evolution of a rapidly deteriorating barrier island system with multiple sediment sources: Eastern Isles Dernieres, Louisiana, 1887 to 2006
… loss; liberated sediment travels longshore to tidal inlets. The dominant ebb tidal currents then transport the sediment to where it is deposited in ebb tidal deltas or carried to the west, out of the system. A large lobe of sediment bypassing Cat Island Pass is entering the system from the …

Sand transport in northern Venice Lagoon through the tidal inlet of Lido
… around Lido Inlet, the largest of<br/>three tidal inlets in Venice Lagoon, Italy. Morphological analysis has established the presence<br/>of an ebb-tidal delta extending from the mouth of Lido Inlet as well as other features typical<br/>of tidal inlets. The stability of the inlet, as well as …

Late Quaternary Evolution and Stratigraphic Framework Influence on Coastal Systems along the North-Central Gulf of Mexico, USA
… during the Holocene. Repeated storm breaches or tidal inlets correspond to paleotopographic low’s in the MIS 2 surface.</p> <p>A Holocene geomorphic evolutionary model was created for Petit Bois and Dauphin Island from available data, highlighting RSLR rates and sediment supply. As the MIS 2 …

Biophysical coupling between turbulence, veliger behavior, and larval supply
… rate over a range comparable to turbulence in a tidal inlet, and the mean larval vertical velocity shifted from upward to downward in turbulence resembling energetic nearshore areas. The larval response to turbulence was incorporated in a vertical advection-diffusion model to characterize the …

Examining the Impact of Bonnet Carré Spillway Opening on Hypoxia Evolution in the Mississippi Sound and Bight: A 2019 Case Study
… demand. Biweekly flux analyses through key tidal inlets such as Cat Island Channel, Ship Island Pass, and Dog Key Pass revealed amplified shelfward transport of organic matter and low-oxygen water during peak discharge. Spatial and vertical patterns of bottom dissolved oxygen and detritus …

Hydrodynamic controls on multiple tidal inlet persistence
The importance of the persistence of multiple inlets in coastal systems is fundamental for issues such as water quality, navigability, and beach/barrier stability. In long embayments, having extended residence times, the stability of multiple inlets can be important for more efficient flushing and …

Sedimentology and tectonic implications of the Late Proterozoic to Early Cambrian Chilhowee Group in southern and central Virginia
… east, initial transgressive facies consist of tidal sandwave and sandridge deposits intercalated with proximal and medial braid-pIain deposits. As transgression progressed cratonwards onto less attenuated crust, tidal sedimentation was supplanted by tide- and wave-influenced sedimentation …

An Analysis of Shoreline Change at Little Lagoon, Alabama
… to the Gulf shoreline were found near natural inlets, downdrift of jetties, and coincident with nourishment projects. Between 1955 and 1997, Little Lagoon shrank 0.5%, or 51.4 km², from 10,285.9 km² to 10,234.5 km². The greatest changes to Little Lagoon were found on its southern shoreline and …

GEOLOGICAL LEGACY OF A HISTORIC WAVE-DOMINATED TIDAL INLET, CENTRAL NEW JERSEY
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic of landforms and leave a geological legacy within coastal barrier systems. Background document analysis of the historic Cranbury Inlet (also known as New or Cranbury Inlet, New Jersey, USA), suggests much debate surrounding the years of its opening and a …
