Assessing the Effectiveness of Coastal Foredune Barriers in Reducing Hurricane Washover Sedimentation

摘要: ABSTRACT Williams, H., 2018. Assessing the effectiveness of coastal foredune barriers in reducing hurricane washover sedimentation. This study tests physical blocking or sedimentation marshes. It is widely assumed that natural and artificial barriers, such as foredunes roads, block reduce storm overwash. However, there appears to be little documented assessment this effect. topic has gained significance recently because concerns over sea-level rise induced by global warming creating a larger potential threat from Nearshore act protect populations infrastructure farther inland surge, but they may also sediment delivery marshlands, slowing their vertical accretion contributing submergence rising sea level. Consequently, critical need for more information on effect marsh Washover sed...
