This paper offers a synthesis of the disparate evidence on the importance of the magnitude
and duration of water level rise in both lacustrine and marine environments in relation to …

Coastal systems in the Gulf of Mexico are threatened by reduced sediment supply, storm
impacts and relative sea-level rise (RSLR). The geologic record provides insight into …

Most of the US Gulf Coast is composed of barrier islands, peninsulas, chenier plains, and
mainland beaches that are the main line of defense for wetlands, estuaries, and urban and …

The regime of accelerating sea-level rise forecasted by the IPCC (2013) suggests that many
platform marshes and tidal flats may soon cross a threshold and deteriorate/drown as back …

Advances in submarine technologies and increased exploration of continental shelves are
revealing increasingly more submerged barriers that have drowned in response to early-to …

Barrier response to sea-level rise involves a dynamic interplay between the shoreface and
the subaerial portion affected by overwashing. Focusing on feedbacks between these two …

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 …

Barrier systems around the world are experiencing accelerated sea-level rise, reduced
sediment supply, and frequent hurricane impacts. However, detailed quantitative field-based …

Barrier islands and associated back-barrier estuaries and lagoons interact via hydrodynamic
and sedimentary processes, affecting the evolution of both systems. Understanding coupled …

Coastal barriers are the first line of defense against storm surge and wind wave induced
hazards. Their response to such events, therefore, require continual assessment. Airborne …
