摘要: Washover sands deposited by storm surge during Superstorm Sandy along the bay side of Fire Island at Tiana Beach, NY were cored and sampled for grain size analysis. all coring sites exhibited an overall coarsening upward trend, with mean sizes varying from 0.25 mm (2 phi) to 0.5 (1 base top overwash lobe. Comparison distributions between washover collected foreshore, berm, backshore, dune features on modern ocean beach shows that are most similar in characteristics sands, particularly near lobe, but become increasingly Four sand intervals within a core through pre-Sandy marsh deposits Beach can be ascribed three historical storms (1938 1954 hurricanes, 1965 nor’easter) one unidentified based air photographs site characteristics. layers recent they share consistent trends used distinguish sediment other processes this barrier island depositional systems.
