Analyzing Estuarine Shoreline Change in Coastal North Carolina
Cowart, Lisa (East Carolina University, 2009)With continued climate change, sea-level rise, and coastal development, concern about shoreline dynamics has expanded beyond oceanfront areas to encompass more protected coastal water bodies, such as estuaries. Because ... -
ASSESSMENT OF MODERN SEDIMENT STORAGE IN THE FLOODPLAIN OF THE LOWER TAR RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA
Quafisi, Dimitri (East Carolina University, 2010)Rivers transport water, sediment, and other constituents from the continent to the sea, but in route material can often become stored temporarily or permanently. Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, coastal plain ... -
Back-Barrier Sediment and Hydrodynamic Processes: Insights from Rodanthe, NC
Cornette, Christopher J (East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Barrier islands are found around the world, and their geomorphic evolution is related to ocean and estuarine processes. Processes including sediment mobilization and shoreline evolution on both the ocean and estuarine side ... -
Comparative impacts of two major hurricane seasons on the Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound ecosystems
Burkholder, JoAnn; Eggleston, David; Glasgow, Howard; Brownie, Cavell; Reed, Robert; Janowitz, Gerald; Posey, Martin; Melia, Greg; Kinder, Carol; Corbett, D. Reide (David Reide), 1971-; Toms, David; Alphin, Troy; Deamer, Nora; Springer, Jeffrey (East Carolina University, 2004-06-22)Ecosystem-level impacts of two hurricane seasons were compared several years after the storms in the largest lagoonal estuary in the U.S., the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. A segmented linear regression flow model ... -
Decadal-scale evolution of a barrier island : Insights from storm overwash and shoreline change on Ocracoke Island, NC
Conery, Ian W. (East Carolina University, 2014)Eastern North Carolina has over 300 km of barrier islands that comprise the Outer Banks and act as an important buffer from the Atlantic Ocean and boundary to the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. These islands also draw ... -
Examination of the 2011 Mississippi River Flood Deposit on the Louisiana Continental Shelf
Young, David R. (East Carolina University, 2014)Floods can dramatically increase the sediment load supplied to continental margins, leading to greater and potentially geochemically unique deposition. The 2011 flooding of the Mississippi River and its discharge into ... -
Examining Coastal Marsh Sedimentation In Northeastern North Carolina
Strand, Jessica (East Carolina University, 2015)Coastal marshes are critical environments that are ephemeral on geologic timescales. Understanding the dynamics that naturally maintain these systems is becoming increasingly important in the face of accelerated sea-level ... -
Modern Sedimentation And Estuarine Shoreline Change Around Roanoke Island, North Carolina
Hawkins, David W. (East Carolina University, 2015)Croatan and Roanoke sounds in North Carolina (NC) are regions constantly undergoing geomorphic changes associated with sea-level rise, storm events, and anthropogenic modification. These estuaries are part of the larger ... -
Nearshore mixing and nutrient delivery along the western Antarctic Peninsula
Corbett, D. Reide (David Reide), 1971-; Crenshaw, Jared; Null, Kimberly; Peterson, Richard N.; Peterson, Leigha E.; Lyons, W. Berry (2017)The surface waters of the Southern Ocean play a key role in the global climate and carbon cycles by promoting growth of some of the world’s largest phytoplankton blooms. Several studies have emphasized the importance of ... -
North Carolina’s Coasts in Crisis: A Vision For The Future
Riggs, Stanley R.; Culver, Stephen J.; Ames, Dorothea V.; Mallinson, David J.; Corbett, D. Reide (David Reide), 1971-; Walsh, J. P. (John Patrick), 1973- (East Carolina University, 2008-10) -

Spatial and Temporal Variability in Surficial Seabed Character, Waipaoa River Margin, New Zealand
Kiker, Joseph M. (East Carolina University, 2012)The Waipaoa River margin, located off the northeast coast of the North Island of New Zealand, provides an opportunity to examine shelf-wide sediment dynamics in a coastal setting. The region is characterized by a narrow ... -
Transport of terrestrially derived nutrients along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, Anvers Island
Crenshaw, Jared (East Carolina University, 2015)The mechanisms that supply Fe to the surface waters off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) play a key role in the global climate cycle by fueling primary production in this vast and globally important ...
