COAWST Applications Catalog

The COAWST Applications Catalog highlights how researchers worldwide are using this system to advance our understanding of coastal processes and create actionable knowledge for communities and stakeholders.

Each entry was identified through peer‑reviewed journal databases, ensuring the catalog represents high‑quality, rigorously vetted work. Countries associated with each study reflect the institutional affiliation of the first author at the time of publication, highlighting the widespread global engagement with COAWST.

The map at the center of the catalog features geographic coverage boxes that illustrate the study area used in each application. These visual summaries help users quickly explore where COAWST has been applied—from estuaries and deltas to open-ocean.

The catalog is a living resource and will be updated with additional studies as they become available. Scientists who publish COAWST-based research are encouraged to submit their work for inclusion to John Warner (jcwarner@usgs.gov).
