Detailed Description
The Coastal Sediment Availability and Flux project conducts research and monitoring of sediment movement and coastal change at several barrier islands around the U.S. One of these research locations is Fire Island, New York, which has undergone significant morphological changes over several decades. Integrating geophysical and sedimentological data with modeling is important for understanding potential impacts to the residents that live on these islands, including both animals and people.
