| Notes | “Coastal flooding and erosion are major concerns for low lying coastal communities– particularly in light of accelerated sea level rise and climate change. To improve quantitative understanding of the physical drivers of both flooding and coastal landscape change, this dissertation explores coastal morphodynamics bridging the land-sea interface on modally dissipative beaches throughout the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW).” (from the Abstract) Although this doctoral dissertation focuses most intently on the Oysterville area, beaches at the Netarts Littoral Cell, Agate Beach and South Beach, Oregon and their erosional trends are also discussed. |
