Frontiers 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

Earth and Space Science, 2022 Evaluation of sea‐level rise (SLR) impacts on coastal landforms and habitats is a persistent need for informing coastal planning and management, including policy decisions, particularly those that balance human interests and habitat protection throughout

Thresholds in Road Network Functioning on US Atlantic and Gulf Barrier Islands
Earth's Future, 2022 Barrier islands predominate the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines of the USA, where population and infrastructure growth exceed national trends. Forward‐looking models of barrier island dynamics often include feedbacks with real estate markets and management ...

Impacts of Hurricane Matthew on adjacent developed and undeveloped barrier islands in southeastern North Carolina [PDF]
, 2022 High-magnitude storms such as hurricanes can cause significant and potentially long-lasting morphological coastal change, particularly along low-lying barrier islands.

Smartphone technologies and Bayesian networks to assess shorebird habitat selection
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Understanding patterns of habitat selection across a species’ geographic distribution can be critical for adequately managing populations and planning for habitat loss and related threats.

The Impact of Lidar Elevation Uncertainty on Mapping Intertidal Habitats on Barrier Islands
Remote Sensing, 2017 While airborne lidar data have revolutionized the spatial resolution that elevations can be realized, data limitations are often magnified in coastal settings.

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

When Is a Barrier Island Not an Island? When It Is Preserved in the Rock Record
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Existing barrier island facies models are largely based on modern observations. This approach highlights the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of barrier island systems, but it overlooks processes tied to geologic time scales, such as multi-directional ...

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023 Barrier islands are low-lying elongated, narrow sandy deposits, usually parallel to the coastline, separated from the continent by a lagoon. Due to their low elevation above sea level, barrier islands are environments susceptible to drastic morphological

Barrier Island Dynamics Using Mass Center Analysis: A New Way to Detect and Track Large-Scale Change
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2014 A geographic information system (GIS) was used to introduce and test a new method for quantitatively characterizing topographic change. Borrowing from classic Newtonian mechanics, the concept of a body’s center of mass is applied to the geomorphic ...
