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 …

Storm‐driven sediment fluxes onto and behind barrier islands help coastal barrier systems
keep pace with sea level rise (SLR). Understanding what controls cross‐shore sediment flux …

Understanding the response of coastal barriers to future changes in rates of sea level rise,
sediment availability, and storm intensity/frequency is essential for coastal planning …

Recent field and modeling studies have shown that barrier island resiliency is sensitive to
sediment fluxes from the shoreface, making it important to evaluate how shoreface sediment …

Under rising sea level conditions, barrier islands are largely ephemeral features, eroded on
the seaward side by the transgressing shoreline and reformed by overwash to a more …

Abstract During September and October 2019, the US Geological Survey mapped the
shoreface and inner continental shelf offshore of the Rockaway Peninsula in New York …

Fire Island is an approximately 50-kilometer (km) long barrier island with a northeast-
southwest orientation that is separated from Long Island, New York, by Great South Bay. It is …

There is no universally accepted way to accurately and efficiently measure bathymetry in
laboratory hydraulic models. Remote sensing techniques can measure bathymetry without …

Researchers from the US Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a long-term coastal
morphologic-change study at Fire Island, New York, prior to and after Hurricane Sandy …
