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

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 …

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 …

Coastal change is a complex combination of multi-scale processes (eg, wave-driven cross-
shore and longshore transport; dune, bluff, and cliff erosion; overwash; fluvial and inlet …

Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

Recently developed models of coastal barrier morphodynamics include marsh and lagoon
processes that have been shown to impact barrier island evolution. To gain additional …

This paper presents a new empirical model, called the cumulative storm impact index (CSII),
that quantifies the impact of coastal storms on sandy beaches. The new model utilizes user …

Barrier islands are landscape features that protect coastlines by reducing wave energy and
erosion. Quantifying vegetation-topographic interactions between adjacent habitats are …

Barrier islands are highly dynamic coastal landforms that are economically, ecologically,
and societally important. Woody vegetation located within barrier island interiors can alter …

Tidal flooding can significantly impact vegetation pixel reflectance of coastal salt marshes,
presenting a problem for remote sensing studies of these highly productive ecosystems. The …
