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 …

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 …

Landward migration of coastal ecosystems in response to sea-level rise is altering coastal
carbon dynamics. Although such landscapes rapidly accumulate soil carbon, barrier-island …

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 …

Resilience has been used over a wide range of scientific fields and often ambiguously,
causing confusion over terminology and concepts and giving rise to distinct interpretations …

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 …

Based on numerous publications and field work on the northern Gulf of Mexico coast, US
and other coastal areas, the present objective is to meet the need for an improved system of …

Climate change and related sea-level rise pose significant threats to lowland coasts.
However, the role of key controlling factors responsible for the frequency and landward …

An extensive grid of high-resolution seismic data, hundreds of sediment cores, and a robust
radiocarbon-age data set acquired over nearly four decades allows detailed analysis of …
