Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L.
Abstract:: The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Full Text:: model, the impact of waves normal to the dune face is linearly proportional to the volume of sand

Creator:: Kumler, Marion Lawrence, 1941-
Abstract:: The vegetation of the Oregon coast is characterized by a variety of stages of plant succession which are repeated widely throughout the sand dune area. During the years from 1960 to 1963 the gradation of upland sand dune succession was studied on 48 plots within a 150 mile section of...

Creator:: Wiedemann, Alfred M.
Abstract:: Sand dunes are found along the coasts of most of the large land masses of the world. Because of their proximity to man and his activities, the maritime sand dunes of Europe, particularly Germany, France, Holland and Scandinavia, have the longest history of stabilization activities and botanical investigation. There are...

Creator:: Hovenga, Paige A.
Abstract:: Coastal dunes provide a diverse set of ecosystem services including coastal protection against destructive surge and waves during storm events. Dunes are constantly evolving through various stages of response to storm events and post-storm recovery at rates that vary due to a range of drivers including pre-existing morphology, environmental forcing...

Full Text:: , 2021. Title: Quantifying the Relative Role of the Key Drivers of Coastal Dune Evolution

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann
Abstract:: Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...
