Historical evolution of the Columbia River littoral cell

Creator:: Kaminsky, George M., Ruggiero, Peter, Buijsman, Maarten, McCandless, Diana, and Gelfenbaum, Guy
Abstract:: This paper details the historical coastal evolution of the Columbia River littoral cell in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Geological data from A.D. 1700 and records leading up to the late 1800s provide insights to the natural system dynamics prior to significant human intervention, most notably jetty construction...

What's streamflow got to do with it? A probabilistic simulation of the competing oceanographic and fluvial processes driving extreme along-river water levels

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A., Ruggiero, Peter, and Parker, Kai
Abstract:: Extreme water levels generating flooding in estuarine and coastal environments are often driven by compound events, where many individual processes such as waves, storm surge, streamflow, and tides coincide. Despite this, extreme water levels are typically modeled in isolated open-coast or estuarine environments, potentially mischaracterizing the true risk of flooding...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

Incorporating climate change and morphological uncertainty into coastal change hazard assessments

Creator:: Baron, Heather M., Ruggiero, Peter, Wood, Nathan J., Harris, Erica L., Allan, Jonathan, Komar, Paul D., and Corcoran, Patrick
Abstract:: Documented and forecasted trends in rising sea levels and changes in storminess patterns have the potential to increase the frequency, magnitude, and spatial extent of coastal change hazards. To develop realistic adaptation strategies, coastal planners need information about coastal change hazards that recognizes the dynamic temporal and spatial scales of...

Is the intensifying wave climate of the U.S. Pacific Northwest increasing flooding and erosion risk faster than sea level rise?

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: The relative contributions of sea level rise (SLR) and increasing extra-tropical storminess to the frequency with which waves attack coastal features is assessed with a simple total water level (TWL) model. For the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) over the period of wave-buoy observations (~30 years) wave height...

Estimating Storm-Induced Dune Erosion and Overtopping along U.S. West Coast Beaches

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe storms. A range of approaches, ranging from simple (e.g., geometric) to complex (e.g., process-based) predictive models, have been developed to quantify overtopping and foredune retreat during storms. At present, however, there is no widely accepted approach for assessing the vulnerability of...

The impact of the 2009–10 El Nino Modoki on U.S. West Coast beaches

Creator:: Barnard, Patrick L., Allan, Jonathan, Hansen, Jeff E., Kaminsky, George M., Ruggiero, Peter, and Doria, Andre
Abstract:: High-resolution beach morphology data collected along much of the U.S. West Coast are synthesized to evaluate the coastal impacts of the 2009–10 El Niño. Coastal change observations were collected as part of five beach monitoring programs that span between 5 and 13 years in duration. In California, regional wave and...

An Inner-Shelf Wave Forecasting System for the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Garcia-Medina, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, Ruggiero, Peter, and Oskamp, Jeffrey
Abstract:: An operational inner-shelf wave forecasting system was implemented for the Oregon and southwest Washington coast in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). High-resolution wave forecasts are useful for navigational planning, identifying wave energy resources, providing information for site-specific coastal flood models, and having an informed recreational beach user group, among other...

Invasive Congeners Differ in Successional Impacts across Space and Time

Creator:: David, Aaron S., Zarnetske, Phoebe L., Hacker, Sally D., Ruggiero, Peter, Biel, Reuben G., and Seabloom, Eric W.
Abstract:: Invasive species can alter the succession of ecological communities because they are often adapted to the disturbed conditions that initiate succession. The extent to which this occurs may depend on how widely they are distributed across environmental gradients and how long they persist over the course of succession. We focus...

The Power of Three: Coral Reefs, Seagrasses and Mangroves Protect Coastal Regions and Increase Their Resilience

Creator:: Guannel, Greg, Arkema, Katie, Ruggiero, Peter, and Verutes, Gregory
Abstract:: Natural habitats have the ability to protect coastal communities against the impacts of waves and storms, yet it is unclear how different habitats complement each other to reduce those impacts. Here, we investigate the individual and combined coastal protection services supplied by live corals on reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove...
