Carbonate sediment transport across coral reefs: A comparison of fringing vs. barrier reefs
Contributions to uncertainty in runup forecasts
Modeling fluvial sediment plumes: Impacts to coral reefs
Sand- and gravel-trapping efficiencies derived for four types of pressure-difference bedload samplers
Changes in sediment transport processes at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana in response to storm impact
We analyzed elevation changes at the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, to quantify sediment fluxes and assess sediment transport processes over two time periods (1920 – 2007 and 2007 – 2015). Wave-driven alongshore sediment transport is the predominant fair-weather process, whereas storms transport sediment across the island platform and promote shoreline retreat. Major storm impacts, where
How machine learning can improve predictions and provide insight into fluvial sediment transport in Minnesota
Barrier islands and spits of northern Alaska: Decadal scale morphological change
Modeling total water level and coastal change at Pea Island, North Carolina, USA
The DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) was carried out on Pea Island, North Carolina, USA between September-October 2021. We use a coupled numerical model (Windsurf) to hindcast the evolution of the DUNEX transect and produce a time series of hourly water levels at the shoreline from the model output. In addition to assessing the ability of Windsurf to reproduce TWL, we use model output pai
