Ecological effects of rising sea level on shorezone
(East Carolina University, 2009)This study examines the ecological effects of sea-level rise on shorezone in the Neuse River estuary and western Pamlico Sound, NC. Shorezone is defined here in an ecohydrological context as the area of wetland that extends ... -
Holocene Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Change of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)Understanding how coastal systems respond to changes in climate is becoming more important due to the current increased rate of sea-level rise and possible increased hurricane intensity in the future. While coastal ecosystems ... -
Modeling Site Suitability of Living Shorelines in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System
(East Carolina University, 2013)Shoreline erosion and associated land loss are major concerns for coastal land owners and resource managers. Traditional methods of shoreline stabilization using permanent, hard structures can have adverse environmental ... -
MODELING WETLAND RESPONSE TO FUTURE SEA-LEVEL RISE IN THE PAMLICO AND CROATAN SOUNDS, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2012)Coastal habitats are among the world's most vulnerable environments to climate change and are highly sensitive to the impacts of future SLR. During the course of this century sea-level rise (SLR) enhanced by global climate ... -
USING SEDIMENT ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY TO INTERPRET LATE HOLOCENE BARRIER ISLAND AND ESTUARINE EVOLUTION, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)Deconvolving the relationship between meteorological and oceanographic phenomena and associated impacts to coastal systems is critical to understanding the future of coastal systems worldwide. North Carolina's barrier ...
