The Role of Ecomorphodynamic Feedbacks and Landscape Couplings in Influencing the Response of Barriers to Changing Climate

Creator:

Moore, Laura J., Goldstein, Evan B., Durán Vinent, Orencio, Walters, David, Kirwan, Matthew, Lauzon, Rebecca, Mirray, A. Brad, and Ruggiero, Peter

Abstract:

Because barriers are low-lying and dynamic landforms, they are especially sensitive to changing environmental conditions. The continued existence of barriers will depend on the degree to which these landforms can maintain elevation above sea level while also migrating landward. We are increasingly learning that ecomorphodynamic interactions (i.e., interactions between morphology,...

The Role of Vegetation in Determining Dune Morphology, Exposure to Sea-Level Rise, and Storm-Induced Coastal Hazards : A U.S. Pacific Northwest Perspective

Creator:

Ruggiero, Peter, Hacker, Sally, Seabloom, Eric, and Zarnetske, Phoebe

Abstract:

This chapter is part of Barrier Dynamics and Response to Changing Climate. Coastal foredunes are often the “first line of defense” for backshore infrastructure from the hazards of erosion and flooding, and they are key components of coastal ecosystems. The shape and growth characteristics of coastal foredunes, typically characterized by...
