Techniques for GIS Modeling of Coastal Dunes

open access: yesGeomorphology, 2002
Coastal dunes present a unique problem to coastal scientists because of the dynamic nature of most coastal dune systems. Coastal dunes can change shape quickly and frequently due to storm-generated winds and waves. Prevailing winds can transport significant amounts of sand throughout the dune system.
