The stability and spatial variability of sand bar morphology

Creator:

Lippmann, Thomas Charles

Resource Type:

Masters Thesis
Quantitative analysis of nearshore morphological variability based on video imaging

Creator:

Alexander, Patricia Soupy

Abstract:

In the past, classification systems for the analysis of morphodynamic variability have been developed in an attempt to understand large scale coastal behavior. The motivation behind the creation of these classification systems has been to provide a framework of analysis, in order to understand large scale response to seasonal variability,...

Statistical distribution of swash maxima on natural beaches

Creator:

Holland, K. Todd

Abstract:

Beach response to overwash processes is a topic of significant importance. Two particular aspects of this topic were chosen for detailed analysis: the distribution of maximum wave runup elevations and the cross-beach celerity gradient of overwash bores on natural beaches. Data were collected using both traditional nearshore instrumentation and recently...

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...
