Predicted Sea‐Level Rise‐Driven Biogeomorphological Changes on Fire Island, New York: Implications for People and Plovers

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2022
Forecasting biogeomorphological conditions for barrier islands is critical for informing sea‐level rise (SLR) planning, including management of coastal development and ecosystems.

Distribution patterns of vines within the East Asian island chain

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
The northward dispersal of thermophilic plants along the East Asia island chain is influenced by cold stress, strait barrier and island effect. However, the impact of each parameter is not clear.

Modern to Ancient Barrier Island Dimensional Comparisons: Implications for Analog Selection and Paleomorphodynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Ancient barrier islands are poorly understood relative to other clastic depositional environments, despite being prominent features along modern coastlines and important for understanding transgressive shoreline deposits. A new dataset of ancient barrier

Development and Application of an Empirical Dune Growth Model for Evaluating Barrier Island Recovery from Storms

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Coastal zone managers require models that predict barrier island change on decadal time scales to estimate coastal vulnerability, and plan habitat restoration and coastal protection projects.

Quantifying Transgressive Coastal Changes Using UAVs: Dune Migration, Overwash Recovery, and Barrier Flooding Assessment and Interferences with Human and Natural Assets

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The advantages derived from the use of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well-established: they are cost-effective and easy to use. There are numerous environmental applications, particularly when monitoring contexts characterized by rapid ...

Simulating barrier island response to sea level rise with the barrier island and inlet environment (BRIE) model v1.0 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2019
Barrier islands are low-lying coastal landforms vulnerable to inundation and erosion by sea level rise. Despite their socioeconomic and ecological importance, their future morphodynamic response to sea level rise or other hazards is poorly understood. To

Undeveloped and developed phases in the centennial evolution of a barrier-marsh-lagoon system: The case of Long Beach Island, New Jersey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Barrier islands and their associated backbarrier environments protect mainland population centers and infrastructure from storm impacts, support biodiversity, and provide long-term carbon storage, among other ecosystem services.
