  • Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

    Creator:
    Killian, Jason R.
    Abstract:
    Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

    Dalon, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the past, present, and future behavior of our nation's shorelines is vital for sensible coastal management. Localized areas of erosion, termed "erosional hot spots", can shift the shoreline landward threatening coastal infrastructure (Kraus and Galgano, 2001; Stauble and Gravens, 2004; McNinch, 2004). One specific type of erosional hot spot...

  • Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

    Creator:
    Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
    Abstract:
    Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

  • Predicting the longshore-variable coastal response to hurricanes

    Creator:
    Stockdon, Hilary F.
    Abstract:
    The longshore variability of the coastal response to hurricanes may be examined within the framework of a storm-impact scaling model that compares spatially-variable beach morphology and fluid forcing. The relative elevations of dune height and storm-induced water levels are used to define three impact regimes (swash, collision, and overwash), within...
