Physical processes driving barrier island change during storms are important to understand
to mitigate coastal hazards and to evaluate conceptual models for barrier evolution. Spatial …

Segmented barrier islands can be found in regions with small tidal ranges. In contrast to
tidally dominated barriers, where inlet dynamics are thought to control island length scales …

Wave energy conversion technologies have recently attracted more attention as part of
global efforts to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy resources. While ocean waves …

Classifying images using supervised machine learning (ML) relies on labeled training data—
classes or text descriptions, for example, associated with each image. Data‐driven models …

The extreme conditions associated with Hurricane Ian, a large Category 4 hurricane, led to
unprecedented damage to the barrier islands of southwest Florida. This study investigates …

Hurricanes have serious impacts on human lives and infrastructure, especially as a result of
flooding caused by storm surge and precipitation. To better prepare coastal populations for …

Few datasets exist of high-frequency, in situ measurements of storm overwash, an essential
mechanism for the subaerial maintenance of barrier islands and spits. Here we describe a …

As sea levels rise and coastal populations increase globally, the potential damage by
coastal hazards and recovery costs also rise, therefore, resilience to extreme events and sea …

Irregular wave overwash may cause landward migration and crest lowering of barrier
beaches during a storm. Rock structures may protect barrier beaches but available data are …
