Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barrier islands represent a complex coastal system that includes a number of different sedimentary depositional environments; nearshore zone, beach, dunes, washover fans, marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, lagoons, and tidal inlets. The morphodynamics of these fragile coastal systems provide a further complication to this coastal type. Although barrier islands comprise only 15% of the world's coastline, they have received a far greater proportion of attention from the scientific and engineering community, and more recently, from coastal managers and environmentalists. Modern barrier islands are arguably the most expensive and most vulnerable of all coastal environments. Pressure from developers for residential, industrial, and recreational development has caused most of our barriers to become significantly impacted by human activity, especially over the past few decades. These pres sures have led to extensive preservation of natural barriers through efforts from all levels of government and also by private organizations. Governments have also formed coastal management programs that help to control any future de velopment with the intent being to keep human activity compatible with barrier island morphodynamics. In order to devise appropriate coastal zone management programs, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the morpho dynamics of barrier island systems. This volume provides comprehensive details on barrier island morphology, sediment distribution, and the process-response mechanisms that cause changes to both. These are the important aspects of barrier systems that can provide important input into the development and implementation of coastal management programs.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of barrier islands along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast is directly related to source of sediments and littoral processes. Johnson formulated his hypothesis on barrier island formation in 1919, and his theory prevailed for several decades. Johnson's theory resulted from consideration of only two dimensions normal to the coastline; a third, longshore drift, was not regarded as critical for the initiation of barrier island development. In this study, which is confined to the northern Gulf coast, major sources of sediment supply and transportation patterns of barrier forming sand were examined, along with results of recent oceanographic investigations in the Gulf of Mexico. This study is based on a comprehensive survey of the literature, maps, and marine charts, which were correlated with field observations. To obtain a perspective, only gross forms and processes of barrier development were considered. Evidence indicates that Santa Rosa Island, Mississippi Sound, and Bolivar Peninsula barriers developed downdrift of sediment-supplying coasts of Quaternary age. These barriers evolved with the Recent rise of sea level to its present stand. Apalachicola barriers formed on the flanks of the Pleistocene deltaic plain. Coasts such as the stretch between Destin and Panama City, Florida, and the zero-energy coast of Florida do not have barrier islands. In these cases the modern shoreline is abutted against Pleistocene deposits which are the local source of sediments. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central basin faulting such as the Mt. Enterprise Fault Zone (MEFZ) has recently been of interest in the pursuit of new oil and gas plays within the East Texas Basin. Jurassic rifting and basin subsidence allowed a restricted environment depositing an estimated 1200 ft of salt in the central basin followed by late Jurassic Smackover and Haynesville carbonate deposition. Third order progradation of marginal marine influenced deltas onto the shelf margin occurred and was affected by 4th order cycles of sea level change in which Cotton Valley Sands were vertically stacked within the study area. Contemporaneous faulting caused by salt withdrawal produced further accommodation in which Bossier shale has been documented up to 80% thicker. Faulting possibly served as migration pathways linking reservoirs and source beds within the basin. Timing of deposition and faulting indicates that potential oldest reservoir facies are assumed to be thin distal sands within the fault zone but possibly improve upwards through time. Given the depositional system, lateral discontinuity of reservoirs is considered to exist.
