Marine transgression associated with rising sea levels causes coastal erosion, landscape
transitions, and displacement of human populations globally. This process takes two general …

This review of published literature examines the nature of modern carbonate coastal barrier
systems, concentrating on barrier islands and their related shoals and lagoons in light of …

The response of coastal barrier islands to relative sea-level rise (SLR) is a long-debated
issue. Over centennial and longer periods, regional barrier retreat is generally proportional …

Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

At seasonal to century timescales (mesoscale), the shoreface is a critical zone seaward of
the surf zone and/or beachface, in which waves interact with the mobile seafloor to cause …

Abstract Models of alongshore sediment transport during quiescent conditions, storm‐driven
barrier island morphology, and poststorm dune recovery are integrated to assess decadal …

Barrier island response to sea‐level rise depends on their ability to transgress and move
sediment onto and behind the barrier, either through flood‐tidal delta deposition or via …

Barrier islands and spits tend to migrate landward in response to sea‐level rise through the
storm‐driven process of overwash, but overwash flux depends on the height of the frontal …

The response of barrier islands to sea‐level rise is modulated by combinations of coastal
processes, eco‐geomorphic feedbacks and structural controls, such as antecedent …

The development of coastal adaptation pathways along sandy barrier-island coasts requires
an understanding of multi-decadal barrier morphodynamics in response to forcings such as …
