Book excerpt: Overwash, the transport of sand and water across barrier islands during periods of increased still water level and/or wave height is important to long-term coastal engineering considerations of beach erosion and the consequences of fixing the horizontal and vertical geometry of barrier islands in habitated areas. This investigation was carried out to study the mechanisms of overwash over barrier islands and to develop and evaluate a predictive relationship for sediment transport rates associated with overwash events.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial dunes and other human-made solutions in coastal areas often result in changes to coastal hydraulics and sediment transport, which can lead to changes in long-term evolution of coastal landforms and places communities and other coastal infrastructure at risk from coastal hazards. Recent large-scale restoration projects have shown some success in restoring dynamic coastal processes while increasing habitat in built-dune environments. While there are initial successes, further research is required to: understand the dimensions of change needed to sustain the necessary coastal dynamics; determine the types of approaches to attain a resilient and functioning system and generate reproducible results that will support various coastal management approaches. In this thesis study, throat-dimensions (referred to also as channel dimensions) that induce washover formation are varied in a physical laboratory environment to examine overwash sediment transport and deposition. Uniform initial channels (multiple channel dimensions tested throughout experiment) are emplaced in an artificial sand barrier that serves as a physical representation of a barrier island within an experimental table. The experimental set-up comprises of an ocean-side that is filled at a constant infill rate to overtop the sand barrier, which induces overwash and resulting observed washover features. This experimental set-up was inspired and compared to a similar study observing overwash in an experimental setting. In this study, the methods from previous works were expanded to analyze different channel dimensions. The different channel dimensions mark different experimental runs, hereby referred to as scenarios. Each various channel scenario is repeated over five replicated trials to ensure that the observed results are not due to chance. Each trial is captured with a nadir-view camera, where the trials are video recorded and images from the video are extracted and resulting features are measured within ImageJ. Narrow, deep channels generally produced shorter washover deposits with smaller areas. Shallow, wider channels, or no channels incised, produced washover deposits with generally longer lengths and larger areas. The study results can aid in understanding how human-influenced systems can be altered to restore dynamic coastal processes and barrier island evolutionary pathways.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to coastal storms and their associated impacts Coastal Storms offers students and professionals in the field a comprehensive overview and groundbreaking text that is specifically devoted to the analysis of coastal storms. Based on the most recent knowledge and contributions from leading researchers, the text examines coastal storms’ processes and characteristics, the main hazards (such as overwash, inundation and flooding, erosion, structures overtopping), and how to monitor and model storms. The authors include information on the most advanced innovations in forecasting, prediction, and early warning, which serves as a foundation for accurate risk evaluation and developing adequate coastal indicators and management options. In addition, structural overtopping and damage are explained, taking into account the involved hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The monitoring methods of coastal storms are analyzed based on recent results from research projects in Europe and the United States. Methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation are detailed, storm impact indicators are suggested for different hazards and coastal management procedures analyzed. This important resource includes: Comprehensive coverage of storms and associated impacts, including meteorological coastal storm definitions and related potential consequences A state-of-the-art reference for advanced students, professionals and researchers in the field Chapters on monitoring methods of coastal storms, their prediction, early warning systems, and modeling of consequences Explorations of methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation and suggestions for storm impact indicators for different hazards and coastal management procedures Coastal Storms is a compilation of scientific and policy-related knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. The authors are internationally recognized experts and their work reflects the most recent science and policy advances in the field.
