Abstract Beach groundwater and nearshore hydrodynamic data were collected during a field experiment along two dissipative beach transects on Galveston Island, Texas, in the fall of 2023. The monitored beaches serve as nesting habitat for critically endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. Conditions ranged from calm to stormy, with storms occurring experiment, inundating entire up dune toe. Collected include readings pressure loggers submerged foreshore mounted wells backshore, wave buoys about...
The understanding of the beach capability to resist and recover from a disturbance is paramount importance in coastal engineering. However, few efforts have been devoted quantifying resilience. present work aims investigate shoreline resistance resilience, associated transient disturbance, on sandy beach. A temporary groin was deployed for 24 h micro-tidal sea-breeze dominated induce perturbation. Morphological changes were measured by means surveys estimate perturbation further recovery...
Tereszkiewicz, P.; McKinney, N., and Meyer-Arendt, K.J., 2018. Groins along the northern Yucatán coast.Coastal erosion is a global issue, putting increasing physical socioeconomic stresses on coastal communities. While shoreline protection structures are typically seen as potential solutions, negative environmental impacts often result. Groins, shore-normal type of structure, can successfully impound sediment; however, improper design lead to downdrift create hazardous rip currents....
Over one-third of the Earth’s population resides or works within 200 km coast. The increasing threat coastal hazards with predicted climate change will impact many global citizens. Coastal dune systems serve as a natural first line defense against rising sea levels and storms. This study investigated volumetric changes two on Isle Palms, South Carolina, USA prior to following Hurricanes Irma (2017) Florence (2018), which impacted island tropical storms different characteristics. had...
