Barrier/lagoon systems occupy a significant part of the world's coast. They are diverse in
size, morphology, geological and oceanographic setting, and morphodynamic behaviour …

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 …

One of the most certain consequences of global warming is an increase of global (eustatic)
sea level. The resulting inundation from rising seas will heavily impact low-lying areas; at …

In the face of a global rise in sea level, understanding the response of the shoreline to
changes in sea level is a critical scientific goal to inform policy makers and managers. A …

The response of a barrier island to an extreme storm depends in part on the surge elevation
relative to the height and extent of the foredunes which can exhibit considerable variability …

Sea level rise during the 21st century will have a wide range of effects on coastal
environments, human development, and infrastructure in coastal areas. The broad range of …

Abstract The recovery of Santa Rosa Island in northwest Florida is characterized following
Hurricane Katrina (September 2005), which was preceded by Hurricanes Ivan (2004) and …

Recent observations of inner continental shelves in many regions show numerous
collections of relatively coarse sediment, which extend kilometers in the cross-shore …

This paper presents the geological and morphological evolution of the prograded Cassino
barrier during the middle and late Holocene. A special focus is given on the presentation …

Beach and nearshore morphology, defined primarily by slope and sandbar development, is
very dynamic and is largely controlled by waves, currents and regional sediment …
