| Notes | “Three small subcells (Nehalem, Tillamook, and Netarts) totaling ~55 km shoreline length in the high-wave energy northern Oregon coast are evaluated for potential beach sand loss from sea level rise (SLR) of 0.5–1.0 m during the next century” (from the Abstract). It doesn’t look good. The authors propose that there is “accommodation space” offshore where beach sand can go. They point out that, “The accommodation space approach used to predict beach sand volume loss from future SLR should have broad applicability in complex littoral systems worldwide” (from the Abstract).
