Hindcasting potential hurricane impacts on rapidly changing barrier islands Hindcasting potential hurricane impacts on rapidly changing barrier islands
Hindcasts of the coastal impact of Hurricane Ivan on Santa Rosa Island, Florida, using a storm-impact scaling model that compares hurricane-induced water levels to local dune morphology, were found to have an accuracy of 68% in predicting the occurrence of one of four impact regimes: swash, collision, overwash, and inundation. Errors were overwhelming under-predictions of the regime...

Vulnerability of National Park Service beaches to inundation during a direct hurricane landfall: Fire Island National Seashore Vulnerability of National Park Service beaches to inundation during a direct hurricane landfall: Fire Island National Seashore
Waves and storm surge associated with strong tropical storms are part of the natural process of barrier-island evolution and can cause extensive morphologic changes in coastal parks, leading to reduced visitor accessibility and enjoyment. Even at Fire Island National Seashore, a barrier-island coastal park in New York where extratropical storms (northeasters) dominate storm activity, the...

Extreme changes to barrier islands along the central Gulf of Mexico coast during Hurricane Katrina Extreme changes to barrier islands along the central Gulf of Mexico coast during Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused extreme changes to the barrier islands of the central Gulf of Mexico coast. Dauphin Island, Ala., migrated landward and stranded the remains of its oceanfront row homes in the sea. Chandeleur Islands, La., were completely stripped of their sand, leaving only marshy outcrops in the storm's wake.

Impacts of Hurricane Rita on the beaches of western Louisiana Impacts of Hurricane Rita on the beaches of western Louisiana
Hurricane Rita made landfall as a category 3 storm in western Louisiana in late September 2005, 1 month following Hurricane Katrina's devastating landfall in the eastern part of the State. Large waves and storm surge inundated the lowelevation coastline, destroying many communities and causing extensive coastal change including beach, dune, and marsh erosion.

A simple model for the spatially-variable coastal response to hurricanes A simple model for the spatially-variable coastal response to hurricanes
The vulnerability of a beach to extreme coastal change during a hurricane can be estimated by comparing the relative elevations of storm-induced water levels to those of the dune or berm. A simple model that defines the coastal response based on these elevations was used to hindcast the potential impact regime along a 50-km stretch of the North Carolina coast to the landfalls of...

Hurricanes 2004: An overview of their characteristics and coastal change Hurricanes 2004: An overview of their characteristics and coastal change
Four hurricanes battered the state of Florida during 2004, the most affecting any state since Texas endured four in 1884. Each of the storms changed the coast differently. Average shoreline change within the right front quadrant of hurricane force winds varied from 1 m of shoreline advance to 20 m of retreat, whereas average sand volume change varied from 11 to 66 m3 m−1 of net loss...
