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 ... -
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 Estuarine Sediment Dynamics : Insights from the Large, Shallow, Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System, NC, U.S.A.
Eulie, Devon Olivola (East Carolina University, 2014)This dissertation investigated the dynamics of estuarine shorelines in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System (APES). Shoreline change is influenced by human activities (e.g., shoreline modification), and natural processes ... -
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 ... -
From Dunes to Shelf Deposits: A Multidisciplinary Investigation of Coastal Sand Management in North Carolina
Conery, Ian W. (East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Coastlines around the world are environmentally and economically crucial to society but are being threatened by storms, sea-level rise and erosion. Beach nourishment is a widely used shoreline stabilization strategy that ... -
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 ... -
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) -
