The behavior of siliciclastic coastal systems is largely controlled by the interplay between
accommodation creation and infilling. Factors responsible for altering sediment fluxes to and …

Climate change is expected to alter community dynamics and characteristics in complex
ways, with the most severe implications for already vulnerable populations. The theory of …

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 …

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 their associated backbarrier ecosystems front much of the US Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, yet threshold conditions associated with their relative stability (ie, state …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most dangerous hazards that threaten US coastlines.
They can be particularly damaging when they occur in densely populated areas, such as the …

The fluvial–estuarine transition zone (FETZ) of the Neuse River, North Carolina features a
river corridor that conveys flow in a complex of active, backflooded, and high‐flow channels …

Land cover and use around the margins of estuaries has shifted since 1950 at many sites in
North America due to development pressures from higher population densities. Small …

The long-term evolution of the biosphere has caused fundamental shifts in environmental
conditions and sedimentation at Earth's surface. While effects of the evolution of terrestrial …

Abstract “Ghost cypress”—standing trees killed by increased salinity—indicate sea-level rise
(SLR) effects along lower reaches of many coastal plain rivers. Mature cypress can survive …
