▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Historical changes in shoreline position are measured along the beaches of Kauai, Oahu, and Maui (Hawaii) using shorelines digitized from aerial photographs and survey charts dating back to the early 1900s. Over the past century, erosion (recession) was the dominant trend of shoreline change in Hawaii with an overall average shoreline change rate of-0.11 m/yr and 70% of beaches eroding, including 21km of beach (9% of beaches studied) that completely disappeared. Maui beaches were the most erosional of the three islands (85% erosional, island-wide average rate of-0.17 m/yr). Seventy-one percent of Kauai beaches eroded (average rate-0.11 m/yr), including 8% that completely disappeared. Sixty percent of Oahu beaches eroded (average rate-0.06 m/yr), including 8% that completely disappeared. Coastal armoring (e.g., seawalls) contributes to beach narrowing and loss by limiting the ability of an eroding beach to migrate landward. On Oahu 72% of beaches that narrowed were fronting coastal armoring, including 8.6 km of beach that completely disappeared. This is in comparison to unarmored beaches where beach widths remained relatively stable (53% of beaches narrowed). Island-wide shoreline trends are recalculated for Oahu and Maui after optimizing the data to control for human impacts and applying a series of consistency checks on the results. Differing rates of relative sea-level rise around Oahu and Maui (~65% faster around Maui) remain as the best explanation for the difference in island-wide shoreline trends after examining other influences on shoreline change including waves, sediment supply and littoral processes, and anthropogenic changes. Patterns of historical shoreline change along the northeast coast and other regions of the island of Oahu are examined for spatial relationships to coastal geomorphology and temporal relationships to late-Holocene sea-level changes. Multiple lines of geologic evidence indicate that headlands, comprised largely of unconsolidated carbonate beach and eolian sediments, were formed during late-Holocene sea-level fall.
We infer that a change from headland beach accretion to the observed modern pattern of headland beach erosion is related to the initiation of sea-level rise around Oahu following an earlier period of falling sea level over the past few thousand years.

▼ Biloxi Marsh, located along the shoreline of Eloi Bay in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana has experienced significant shoreline erosion in recent years. The Living Shoreline Demonstration Project, completed in November 2016, constructed three miles of living shoreline structures to attenuate waves and thus combat marsh edge erosion along the shoreline of Eloi Bay. Several types of constructed oyster reef breakwaters were installed for this demonstration project. Due to the experimental nature of these products, available performance characteristics are limited.
This research measures wave attenuation across the constructed oyster reef breakwaters using bottom-mounted pressure gauges. Seven pressure gauges were deployed to obtain wave characteristics on the unprotected and protected sides of four types of breakwater structures. The raw pressure data were processed to determine water surface elevations, significant wave heights, and peak wave periods. In addition to the wave gauges, two water level sondes were deployed to record water surface elevations at the site. Topographic and bathymetric surveys were also conducted along cross-shore transects at the wave gauge locations to provide a profile of the shoreline and structures. The wave attenuation and transmission characteristics of the oyster reef breakwaters from the field measurements are presented. A range of transmission coefficients were calculated for each breakwater structure type.

▼ Shoreline erosion is an issue of economic and environmental concern on the Texas coast. Texas State Highway 87, located in Jefferson County, Texas, has been repeatedly destroyed by storms and rebuilt in the past 50 years. Reconstruction of State Highway 87 cannot be successfully achieved without an exact assessment of
shoreline erosion.
This report describes a
shoreline assessment to obtain a comprehensive data set that will be used to define the coastal erosion problem and assist in the reconstruction of the roadway. Eight field surveys were conducted that included offshore survey and beach survey (beach profiles). The offshore system utilizes a Real-Time Kinematic Differential Global Positioning System (RTK-DGPS) mounted on a personal watercraft and integrated with a survey quality echo sounder. The beach survey utilizes RTK-DGPS equipment carried by the surveyor in a backpack. The system is an accurate, mobile and efficient method to obtain beach profiles.
The two surveys (beach and offshore surveys) are combined to provide a complete beach profile. Data gathered from beach profile surveys enabled the calculation of sediment erosion or accretion rate and direction.

▼ Watamu Mida creek coastal area is a major attraction site for tourists and also a
source of income for the local people. The key identified anthropogenic pressures in
the mangrove forest are; encroachment into the forest (from a growing number of
hotels, cottages and private holiday houses) and, high dependence from the
surrounding villages which has resulted in clearing and selective cutting. The
shoreline is also equally affected by human induced change such as physical alteration
of the beach through clearing the vegetation, development close to the High Water
Mark, and the construction of sea walls. This research assessed the impact of land use
change on mangrove dynamics and shoreline erosion as well as the main driving
factors that cause these changes in Watamu Mida creek. The study had four
objectives; (i) to assess the land use change and, mangrove dynamics (ii) measure the
rate of shoreline change and define the drivers, (iii) determine the natural and human
induced drivers of land use change, mangrove dynamics and shoreline change (iv)
assess the role of relevant government and community level polices on land use and
shoreline management.
This study used old aerial photographs (1969 and 1989), current high resolution
satellite images World view (2010) and ground truthing to analyze the patterns and
dynamics of Mida creek mangrove forest changes, shoreline erosion rates and land
use change over 41 years between 1969-2010. The data were generated for the
mangrove cover by on screen visual digitizing and interpretation using the mosaic
aerial photographs and satellite image. In order to assess the biomass of the
mangrove, a non-destructive method was used to collect data on 25 sample plots and
934 trees were measured to estimate the above ground biomass and carbon stock of
the forest. This study also investigated the trend of shoreline changes, and the factors
iii
attributed to these changes. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) in ArcGIS
environment was used to create transects and statistical analyses for the shoreline. The
9.8 km long Watamu shoreline was divided into 245 transects with 40 meter spacing
in order to calculate the change rates. To identify the primary driving forces of land
use change, a multiple regression model was used. For the household questionnaires,
a stratified random sampling method was used. The household survey included 60
respondents from different resource users groups and villages.Five Focused Group
Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with representatives of the community and
eleven Key informants interviews were conducted with the key leading government
office representative’s, non-governmental organization, hoteliers, and old residents
along the beach.
The greatest land use change rate observed between 1969 and 1989 was in,
miscellaneous coastal vegetation cover at 2.5%, while coastal bush experienced a
significant negative change rate of -6.5%. The main land use changes observed
between 1989 and 2010 were; increasing coastal bush,…

▼ Building coastal resilience is the process of building adaptive capacity into social, built, and ecological systems. Resilience goes beyond disaster mitigation and loss prevention. It suggests that a system can be strengthened by the forces that pressure it. For communities to become resilient, coastal protection must do more than mitigate single-event disaster losses. To build resilience, or engage in any climate adaptation activities, there must be a foundation of laws and policies and instruments of governance that specifically support adoption and implementation of best practices.; The goal of this study was to produce an integrated analysis to examine the capacity and potential of Massachusetts coastal communities to implement coastal resilience practices given their existing regulatory, policy, and governance environments. A document review of municipal regulations of three towns and a content analysis of interviews comprised the case study, and a localized spatial and econometric study examined the effects of accelerated erosion.; Coastal resilience best practices from the field and the literature were used as benchmarks to evaluate the resilience-readiness of hundreds of pages of municipal regulations and policies in three Massachusetts towns that are experiencing frequent and particularly challenging coastal inundation and shoreline erosion: Chatham, Newbury, and Scituate. The analysis showed that the majority (64%) of reasons stated as the regulatory purpose was economic in nature (loss reduction or property protection). Public benefit plus ecosystem protection motivated the rest. Land use practices (77%) and building and infrastructure modifications (18%) references together dominated the almost 400 mentions of resilience practices. Less than 2% referenced green infrastructure practices like marsh restoration, beach renourishment or dewatering, dune stabilization, and using vegetation to prevent erosion.; The content analysis of the interviews with municipal and federal coastal resource managers ascertained their views about the challenges and barriers they face in implementing coastal resilience practices and under what circumstances they would or would not want to implement particular practices. All of the participants expressed exasperation about funding, communication, and public awareness. There was consensus that coordinated long-term cross-jurisdictional comprehensive planning and implementation were critical to successful coastal resilience efforts.; The spatial and econometric analyses showed the ecological and economic effects of accelerated shoreline erosion rates before and after the installation of hard-engineered coastal protection structures in two communities (Plymouth and Scituate), and then calculated coastal erosions effect on waterfront property values over time. The findings provided data that engaged the thorny issues raised by the Public Trust Doctrine theoretical framework of this dissertation. Namely, it is clear that there are unintended consequences to public lands and private…

▼ This thesis project is an adaptation of a site on one of Seattle's former working waterfronts, Lake Union. Located on the lake's eastern shore, the site was recently vacated, providing an opportunity to create a path and destination that enhances the connection of the site to the water and its surrounding neighborhoods. This is achieved through a recreation facility that reclaims utilitarian structures for recreational use. Lost Lake Park provides a framework for a programmatic connection between the activities that occur on land and and those that occur on water. On land, it creates a node of activity in a current dead zone in the transit corridor between the University of Washington and downtown. On water, the site connects to a greater context of parks that exist on Lake Union, unifying the neighborhoods beyond that are presently separated by the lake. Through strategies of layering over and cutting through the existing site, buildings, and piers, the site design recalls its history while providing a use needed by today's city.

▼ Residential development on freshwater lakeshores can negatively impact water quality and biodiversity. On Kootenay Lake in southeastern British Columbia,
shoreline properties are increasingly being managed in ways that may contribute to loss of biodiversity, including through activities such as beach grooming and the construction of rock jetties and retaining walls. For this mixed-method case study 24 residential
shoreline landowners on Kootenay Lake were interviewed, most at their properties, to explore the factors influencing how they manage their properties. Analysis was conducted using grounded theory. Assumptions tested included correlations among sense of place, ecological knowledge, residential seasonality, personal history at the property, and both reported and observed property management practices. Additional factors identified included age, gender, profession, and motorized activities. The data shows high place attachment and satisfaction, and relatively low understanding of shore zone ecosystem dynamics. Recommendations are made for targeted landowner education and social marketing, governance and regulation.

▼ Canada has become increasingly economically dependent on the exportation of bitumen to trans-oceanic international markets. As the export of Alberta bitumen from ports located in British Columbia increases, oil spill response and readiness measures become increasingly important. Although the frequency of ship-source oil spills has dramatically declined over the past several decades, they remain environmentally devastating when they occur. In the event of a marine spill, great lengths of
shoreline are at risk of being contaminated. Once ashore, oil can persist for decades if
shoreline hydraulic conditions are correct and remediation does not occur. Most commonly transported oils (e.g., fuel oils, Bunker C, crude oil, etc.) have been thoroughly studied, and their fate and behaviour in the event of a marine spill is well understood. In contrast, because diluted bitumen has been historically traded in relatively low quantities and has almost no spill history, there is a sizable knowledge gap regarding its effects and behaviour in both the marine environment and on coastal shorelines.
The intent of this thesis was to develop a classification scheme to identify marine shorelines of high and low diluted bitumen (dilbit) retention for southeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This study builds upon the outcome of former laboratory bench top dilbit and sediment research known as Bitumen Experiments (Bit_Ex). Bit_Ex investigated dilbit penetration and retention in six engineered sediment classifications ranging from coarse sand to very large pebble in accordance with the Wentworth Classification scheme. This research used Bit_Ex findings to predict dilbit retention in poorly sorted in-situ beach sediments found on shorelines representative of the southern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Field and laboratory measurements were conducted to document the occurrence of in-situ
shoreline sediments and hydraulic conditions and were used to predict dilbit retention by comparing such characteristics between Bit_Ex and unconsolidated in-situ beach sediments. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) was measured using a double-ring constant-head infiltrometer. Measured Ks values were then compared to predicted Ks values generated by five semi-empirical Ks equations. A modified version of the Hazen Approximation was selected as the most appropriate. Using measured and calculated metrics, sediments were grouped as having either low or high dilbit retention. When sediments were analysed as homogenous samples, the experimental results suggested two of ten shorelines were composed of a combination of low and high retention sections, while the remaining eight sites were of low retention. Upon the isolation of coarse surface strata, results indicated two shorelines were entirely veneered with high retention sediments, and four shorelines were a combination of high and low retention. The residual four shorelines were found to be entirely composed of low retention sediments. The results illuminate the importance…

▼ Coastal counties make up only 17% of the land area in the continental United States, yet 53% of the nation’s population resides in these locations. With sea level rise, erosion, and human disturbances all effecting coastal areas, researchers are working to find strategies to protect and stabilize current and future shorelines. In order to maintain
shoreline stability while maintaining intertidal habitat, multipurpose living shorelines have been developed to mimic natural
shoreline assemblages while preventing erosion. This project determined the effectiveness of a living
shoreline stabilization containing Crassostrea virginica (eastern oyster) and Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) in the field and through controlled wave tank experiments. First, fringing oyster reefs constructed of stabilized oyster shell and smooth cordgrass plugs were placed along three eroding
shoreline areas (shell middens) within Canaveral National Seashore (CANA), New Smyrna Beach, FL. For each shell midden site, four treatments (bare
shoreline control, oyster shell only, S. alterniflora only, and oyster shell + S. alterniflora) were tested in replicate 3.5 x 3.5 meter areas in the lower and middle intertidal zones. Each treatment was replicated five times at each site; erosion stakes within each replicate allowed measurement of changes in sedimentation. After one year in the field, the living
shoreline treatments that contained oyster shells (oyster shell only and oyster shell + S. alterniflora) vertically accreted on average 4.9 cm of sediment at two of the sites, and an average of 2.9 cm of sediment at the third, while the controls lost an average of 0.5 cm of sediment. S. alterniflora did not significantly contribute to the accretion at any site due to seagrass wrack covering and killing plants within one month of deployment. Next, the reduction in wave energy caused by these living
shoreline stabilization techniques relative to bare sediment (control) was quantified. The energy reduction immediately after deployment, and the change in energy reduction when S. alterniflora had been allowed to grow for one year, and the stabilized shell was able to recruit oysters for one year was tested. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a nine-meter long wave tank using capacitance wave gauges to ultimately measure changes in wave height before and after treatments. Wave energy was calculated for each newly deployed and one-year old
shoreline stabilization treatment. Boat wake characteristics from CANA shorelines were measured in the field and used as inputs to drive the physical modeling. Likewise, in the wave tank, the topography adjacent to the shell midden sites was measured and replicated. Oyster shell plus S. alterniflora attenuated significantly more wave energy than either the shells or plants alone. Also, one-year old treatments attenuated significantly more energy than the newly deployed treatments. The combination of one-year old S. alterniflora plus live oysters reduced 67% of the wave energy. With the information gathered from…

▼ ABSTRACT
Most sandy beaches around the world have been under the threat of being eroded in the past six decades, resulting in
shoreline retreat; thus, calling for various
shoreline protection devices to be constructed to preserve the well-being of coastal habitants. To achieve this purpose, research on
shoreline changes and development of numerical or mathematical models for predicting
shoreline changes would help attain the goal of sustainable use of coastal land.
This thesis reports preliminary engineering applications of GENESIS that have become a popular tool for modeling long-term
shoreline changes. The aim of this study is to predict the potential
shoreline change in the light of different layouts of
shoreline protection devices. The topics addressed in this report include the discussion on the parameters in GENESIS;
shoreline changes in the lee and/or on the back of single groin and single detached breakwater with normal or oblique wave incidence; comparison on the efficiency of beach accretion as a function of gap width between structures and the sequence of their construction, as well as assessment on the restraint from the two different boundary conditions used in GENESIS. The results of modeling using GENESIS are then verified using the result based on the empirical parabolic bay shape equation and a physical scale model, in order to test the feasibility of applying GENESIS for practical engineering uses.
From the results of this study, it can be stated that GENESIS is valuable reference tool for engineering design, despite some shortcomings in setting up boundary conditions and the invariant nature of and values which do not respond to the process of changing
shoreline curvature. However, the GENESIS system would have a positive contribution to the modeling of
shoreline changes upon the construction of protective devices on a coast.

day, the number of people who reside in cities outnumbers the number of people who reside outside of cities,
and the proportion of the population that lives in urban
areas is expected to increase to nearly 70% by 2050.
As
this occurs, we must make sure our cities can effectively provide residents with the resources and services they
need not just to live but to thrive.
Meanwhile, climate change threatens the health and
safety of all our living spaces, especially in cities. In the
near future, our cities will not only have to accommodate more people, they will also have to adapt and respond to the effects of climate change in order to maintain conditions that are safe, healthy, and liveable.
The effects of climate change are far-reaching. They
include increased precipitation and other extreme
weather events—which result in a heightened risk of
flooding and the endangerment of lives and property—and the increased fragility of ecosystems and biodiversity as they also attempt to adapt to changing
living conditions. Urban environments are especially vulnerable due to large amounts of impervious surfaces, which prevent rain water infiltration and absorb
heat, and limited space for ecosystems that can help
mitigate these effects.
This project is located in the watershed of the Watts
Branch, a tributary of the Anacostia River, and spans
parts of both Prince George’s County, Maryland, and
the District of Columbia. It crosses densely populated urban neighborhoods, some of which are home
to socially and economically vulnerable populations.
Some of its residents are low-income families or live in affordable housing communities. Washington,
D.C. and the State of Maryland have both experienced
catastrophic flooding events in the last several years,
largely driven by precipitation. Flooding in the Federal
Triangle has threatened not just homes and businesses but also irreplaceable national historical documents
and artifacts. Similarly, catastrophic and fatal flash
flooding suffered in Ellicott City, MD, in 2018, disrupted that city’s leading industry, tourism.2
These events
are devastating—as they will occur more frequently as
climate change continues to have greater impacts, it
is thus essential to ensure that this community is protected against these impacts.
One way to address multiple challenges within an urban environment is…

▼ Coastal zones all over the world have become heavily populated and developed due to the aesthetic value and diverse ecosystem services that they provide (Luijendijk et al. 2018). In recent years, however, climate change and anthropogenic pressures have exacerbated unprecedented coastal recession, threatening billions of dollars’ worth of coastal developments and infrastructure (Ranasinghe et al. 2012). In order to counteract the erosion trend and protect
shoreline positions, it is necessary to carry out reliable assessments of
shoreline dynamics to monitor the erosion process. Therefore, this thesis attempts to explain different spatial and temporal patterns of sandy
shoreline evolution.The strict definition of
shoreline is the physical land-water boundary (Boak & Turner 2005). However, considering the dynamic nature of water levels and the cross-shore and longshore sediment transport in the littoral zone, many coastal state indicators have been used as proxies to represent the ’true’
shoreline position for practical purposes (Boak & Turner 2005). The satellite derived shorelines (SDS), considered as a new type of coastal state indicator, provide a global
shoreline dataset from 1984 to present. Hagenaars et al. (2017) stated that for long-time scales, similarities can be found between coastline dynamics based on the SDS positions and traditional indicators based on topographic measurements. Thus, for any coastal sandy stretch, time series of the SDS can be analyzed to get a first understanding of the coastline evolution in the period of 1984 – present.Three knowledge gaps are identified regarding using the SDS on unravelling
shoreline dynamics:Does the time series of the SDS contain signatures of expected
shoreline behaviour?To what extent is the limitation of the SDS important for unravelling
shoreline dynamics? What is the application range of using the SDS for unravelling
shoreline dynamics?The above knowledge gaps were addressed through the following steps. (1) We narrowed down the forcing types that would be focused on, including extreme storms, seasonal forcing, climate variability, land subsidence, sea level rise (SLR) and anthropogenic processes. (2) The
shoreline changes at the eleven knowledge-intensive sites were focused on, each of which was selected based on the available documentation to verify if the influence of a specific forcing type could be unravelled through the SDS. The sites of interests include Narrabeen, Moruya and Pedro, Perranporth, Ocean Shores (CRLC), the Nile Delta, Perth, Ocean Beach, Fire Island, Gatseau sandspit and Cap Ferret sandspit (SW France), the Gulf of Valencia and Wrightsville Beach. (3) We decomposed the time series of the SDS with a range of data analysis methods, in order to extract spatiotemporal patterns of
shoreline variation and correlate the variation patterns to forcing types at the eleven sites. (4) Three indices were calculated to classify rotational/non-rotational and seasonal/non-seasonal beaches based on the analysis results of the SDS. (5) The knowledge…

▼ Mixed Sand and Gravel (MSG) Beach research in recent decades has
overwhelmingly focussed on open-oceanic environments, however, those
found in fetch limited settings remain poorly understood. This thesis has
examined spatial and temporal morphological change through such a
system in Eastbourne, Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. This site has
only recently prograded following several decades of erosion. This
accretion has been the result of a northward migrating gravel front, which
is introducing gravel sized sediment into the previously sandy system
resulting in significant changes in beach morphology and volume.
The aim of this study is to quantify these spatial and temporal changes
and to assess
shoreline stability on a decadal timescale. Additionally it
aims to ascertain whether the current progradation is a long term change
to the system or the result of a short term sediment increase.
This assessment has been conducted in the form of topographic
surveying, grain size and aerial photograph analysis. The topographic
surveying and grain size analysis provides an accurate description of
beach morphology. This is compared to the established MSG beach
morphology models for the open coast, but operating on a smaller scale
because of the lower energy fetch-limited environment of the study area.
Aerial photograph analysis is used to show the longer term changes in
beach width and the northern migration of the gravel fraction of the
sediment supply regime.
The spatial analysis results show that the beach morphology is highly
variable. In the embayments that are more exposed to oceanic swell
waves beach profiles are broad and steep, and in the beaches in the
northern sections of the coastline which are more sheltered from oceanic
swell waves, profiles are flat and narrow. The temporal results show that
the coastal accretion observed through the study area has been initially
rapid, followed by sustained increased beach width.
These results suggest that the morphological variation on this coastline is
part of a long term adjustment to a change in sediment supply, initiated by
tectonic uplift and subsequently driven by longshore sediment transport.
The observed mechanism of longshore transport has been suggested to
be a function of sediment properties, relative wave energy and
bathymetry/topography. The findings of this research are used to develop
a conceptual model of
shoreline evolution for the study area in response
to changes that have occurred over the last 154 years.

▼ The increasing prevalence of high-speed recreational and commercial craft utilising sheltered waterways has brought with it the commensurate degradation of the natural environment and public amenity. This is not new. Wave wake case studies for recreational craft in Australia were conducted as far back as the 1960s, but the growth in high-speed commuter ferry use since the 1980s to reduce urban transport pressures provided the impetus and requisite funding for more extensive research to be conducted.
Initially, the premise of this study was to formulate a systematic methodology for the quantification of environmental impacts. After several decades of describing and reporting the problems, there is a distinct and growing disjuncture between the science and its practical application in vessel management and regulation. Vessel wave wakes are complex and not easy to qualify, let alone quantify. Shallow water wakes are known to be quite different to those in deep water, yet both are described using the same techniques. Very little of the science transmits well to the general public and it is open to misinterpretation and manipulation.
Rather than continue towards a management and regulation methodology using science that has at times proved to be inadequate, if not questionable, the fundamental principles of wave wakes have been reviewed from the beginning to provide a more secure foundation for future application. A new method of ranking the erosive potential of wave wakes is proposed, subject to further validation.
Apart from the general introduction and conclusions, this document is arranged in a somewhat different manner to a traditional thesis. The principle tenets of wave wake science are reviewed and renewed, supported by subject-specific appendices.
Section 2: Literature Review. A novel form of literature review is presented. Rather than a standard review of the available literature, which often can read as abstract summaries, nine selected technical reports and journal papers are appraised in detail, highlighting perpetual misinformation, problems of interpretation, and the limitations of the science.
Section 3: Waves. Waves are discussed from very basic concepts through to their propagation and interaction, but more in the context of how they are to be interpreted in a wave wake context rather than the principles of their existence.
Section 4: Deep Water. A comprehensive and updated review of the generation and propagation of wave wakes in deep water is presented. Its apparently simple relationships in fact give rise to complex interactions that lead to consistent misinterpretation of wave wake phenomena.
Section 5: Shallow Water. In the past, a shallow-water wake was analysed in the same way as a deep-water wake. The composition of the shallow water wake is analysed, showing that the leading wave has the attributes of a wave packet and not a single wave. Moreover, the existence of solitary waves that come to dominate the leading shallow water wave at high depth super-critical Froude numbers and the…

▼ In Louisiana, barrier islands are undergoing morphological change driven by high rates of relative sea-level rise and interior wetland loss. Previous works utilized historical region-scale bathymetry and
shoreline change analyses to assess coastal evolution. However, more localized assessments considering the role of sediment transport processes in regional evolution are lacking. This is essential to predicting coastal change trajectories and allocating limited sand resources for nourishment. Using bathymetric and
shoreline data, 100-m spaced shore-normal transects were created to track meter-scale elevation change for 1880s, 1930s, 1980s, 2006, and 2015. An automated framework was used to quantify and track parameters such as
shoreline change, barrier island area and width, bathymetric isobath migration, and shoreface slope. Our results illustrate that monitoring subaerial island erosion rates are insufficient for evaluating regional sediment dynamics of transgressive coastal systems. Advances in understanding these processes will facilitate more informed planning, management, and mitigation of transgressive barrier islands.

▼ Sea-level rise is projected to have a wide range of effects on coastal environments, developments, and infrastructure. Based on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) system data, we developed a two-stage model; firstly, the Bayesian Network (BN) is used to define relationship among driving forces; secondly, the logistic regression is used to evaluate direct association for direct factors related to
Shoreline Erosion. Using this two-stage approach, increased sea-level (OR: 4.03[3.72,4.38]), higher Wave Height (OR: 0.56[0.54,0.61]), smaller Tidal Range (OR: 1.68[1.52,1.87]) and smaller Coastal Slope (OR: 0.45[0.44,0.49]) are directly associated with
Shoreline Erosion in Atlantic Ocean; Geomorphology setting (OR: 9.35[6.33,14.18]) in high risk regions, such as beaches, is identified as direct association with
Shoreline Erosion in Gulf of Mexico; Smaller tidal range (OR: 0.10[0.04,0.27] directly associated with
Shoreline Erosion in Pacific Ocean. These direct factors were evaluated predictive ability with accuracy rates 0.59 and AUC 0.63.

▼ Shoreline delineation and
shoreline change
detection are expensive processes in data source acquisition and
manual
shoreline delineation. These costs confine the frequency and
interval of
shoreline mapping periods. In this dissertation, a new
shoreline delineation approach was developed targeting on lowering
the data source cost and reducing human labor. To lower the cost of
data sources, we used the public domain LiDAR data sets and
satellite images to delineate shorelines without the requirement of
data sets being acquired simultaneously, which is a new concept in
this field. To reduce the labor cost, we made improvements in
classifying LiDAR points and satellite images. Analyzing shadow
relations with topography to improve the satellite image
classification performance is also a brand-new concept. The
extracted
shoreline of the proposed approach could achieve an
accuracy of 1.495 m RMSE, or 4.452m at the 95% confidence level.
Consequently, the proposed approach could successfully lower the
cost and shorten the processing time, in other words, to increase
the
shoreline mapping frequency with a reasonable accuracy.
However, the extracted
shoreline may not compete with the
shoreline
extracted by aerial photogrammetric procedures in the aspect of
accuracy. Hence, this is a trade-off between cost and
accuracy. This approach consists of three phases,
first, a
shoreline extraction procedure based mainly on LiDAR point
cloud data with multispectral information from satellite images.
Second, an object oriented
shoreline extraction procedure to
delineate
shoreline solely from satellite images; in this case
WorldView-2 images were used. Third, a
shoreline integration
procedure combining these two shorelines based on actual
shoreline
changes and physical terrain properties. The actual data source
cost would only be from the acquisition of satellite images. On the
other hand, only two processes needed human attention. First, the
shoreline within harbor areas needed to be manually connected, for
its length was less than 3% of the total
shoreline length in our
dataset. Secondly, the parameters for satellite image
classification needed to be manually determined. The need for
manpower was significantly less compared to the ground surveying or
aerial photogrammetry. The first phase of
shoreline extraction was to utilize Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI), Mean-Shift segmentation on the coordinate
(X, Y, Z), and attributes (multispectral bands from satellite
images) of the LiDAR points to classify each LiDAR point into land
or water surface. Boundary of the land points were then traced to
create the
shoreline. The second phase of
shoreline extraction
solely from satellite images utilized spectrum, NDVI, and shadow
analysis to classify the satellite images into classes. These
classes were then refined by mean-shift segmentation on the
panchromatic band. By tracing the boundary of the water surface,
the
shoreline can be created. Since these two shorelines may
represent different
shoreline instances in time,…

▼ The benthic invertebrate infaunal community is sensitive to disturbance and is an indicator for the overall health of estuarine ecosystems. To quantify the effect of salt marsh shoreline stabilization and restoration approaches on adjacent habitat quality, we compared invertebrate community assemblages of benthic infauna between four different shoreline types, two of which were erosion control methods, hardened and living shoreline, and two unaltered shorelines, natural and eroded. We quantified benthic infauna density, biomass, richness, and diversity and evaluated physical-chemical factors (water quality, sediment carbon and nitrogen content, and grain size) that may be influencing the benthic invertebrate community associated with the various shoreline treatments.
There were significant differences, determined using a one-way ANOVA, (p < 0.05) in benthic infauna density, diversity and richness between shoreline types over all the seasons. Hardened and eroded shorelines had more variability around the mean density, diversity and species richness across all seasons than the living and natural shorelines suggesting that while living and natural shorelines had lower mean overall abundance they provide a more stable habitat for benthic infauna. Natural and living shorelines had constant predation pressure due to the more complex habitat structure that attracted a larger nekton community than eroded and hardened shoreline treatments. This caused a significant reduction in mean abundance of benthic infauna from May to October of 2015 at all treatment sites but an overall lower mean density and biomass at the natural and living shorelines. Benthic infauna community indices (density, biomass, richness, diversity, and functional groups) differ among shoreline treatment sites reflecting ecosystem complexity that is likely driven by resource availability and predation. The hardened and eroded shorelines provided habitat to a more generalist array of organisms in comparison to the more specialized feeding guilds found at the natural and living shorelines, indicating that for restoration purposes a hardened shoreline does not provide a stable state of species assemblages, with more fluctuations in benthic community indices compared with those found at the natural and living shorelines. The findings from this project suggest that the use of living shoreline restoration methods promote habitat complexity similar to that of the natural shoreline resulting in similar trends in species density, richness and diversity. Because benthic infauna are a critical component of the nearshore coastal food web along with increasing societal pressure to protect coastal shorelines from erosion, it is important to consider how restoration methods affect benthic infauna.

▼ The Washington
Shoreline Management Act was passed by the State Legislature in 1971, and was adopted by voters in 1972. The Act’s purpose is to “prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state’s shorelinesâ€. To achieve this, the
Shoreline Master Program (SMP), developed by each local government to comply with the Act, is granted the freedom of flexibility in determining what key elements shall be incorporated into the local plan to accommodate varying conditions. This research paper is an examination of the content within the Bainbridge Island
Shoreline Master Program. A set of criteria was created and applied to review Bainbridge Island’s SMP. In addition, a readability analysis was conducted on the individual sections of the document. The results of the study reflect a necessity to focus on the fact base, implementation, and monitoring, as these sections are the ones that consistently lack detail within the SMP. Incorporating this study into the current literature will improve communication between both the planners, and the public.

▼ An accurate prediction of
shoreline changes behind detached breakwaters is, in regard to the adjustment to the environmental impact, still a challenge for designers and coastal managers. This research is expected to fill the gaps in the estimation of
shoreline changes by developing new and generalized relationships of the
shoreline changes to the detached breakwaters at several sensitive points, based on varying structure parameters, physical conditions and sediment properties of the prototypes. The generalization of relationships is intended to create new predictive possibilities. Chapter 2 presents the changes of waves and currents, leading to morphological changes in the sheltered areas of the breakwaters. As a consequence, the various positions of breakwaters’ field change the morphology on the
shoreline, such as the center of a structure, the
shoreline opposite a gap, the up-drift and the down-drift position. To solve these problems, several methods are used to investigate the
shoreline response, such as numerical, physical, and empirical models. In chapter 3, the prototype approach is used as justifiable data for the development of the relationship models. In total 93 projects with 1144 structures were collected, including structure parameters, physical conditions, sediment properties and
shoreline result measurements. The structural parameters are collected from a variety of sources, such as inquiry questionnaires, project reports, a selection of specific articles, journals and papers. The structural aspects, such as length of breakwater, offshore distance, gap width, freeboard, crest width, water depth at structure and structure orientation, are collected. The physical condition data, including wave, current and tidal range, were retrieved from online scientific resources and organizations. In chapter 4 the predictive relationships of the
shoreline changes are developed with the different accretion formations and the shore positions. The models start with the findings of the basic relationships of the
shoreline changes and continue with the development of the relationships of the
shoreline changes including the other parameters. The collective relationships of the
shoreline changes are a combination of the total effects. The new relationships are developed to estimate the siltation of tombolo, salient and limited response; for the
shoreline opposite the gap, for the up-drift and the down-drift. All these relationships are analysed for the goodness of fit (R-squared), the error of estimate and the correlation coefficients of the regression. Further on in this chapter, several existing models of the relationships are compared with the new basic relationships. However, there are no previous relationships to be compared with the complete relationships. In chapter 5 the quantitative individual parameter effects on the
shoreline changes are interpreted. The
shoreline change functions relate to multiple parameters, therefore, the effect of each parameter needs to be analysed, while keeping the other…

▼ Living shorelines are designed to address coastal erosion and their use is encouraged over that of hard structures such as sea walls and bulkheads because they provide habitat, improve water quality and stabilize shorelines. Objectives of this study were to: (i) Compare soil Nitrogen [N], Phosphorus [P], Organic Carbon [OC], organic matter (SOM) and soil bulk density between living, hardened and natural
shoreline to determine if soil present within living shorelines is comprised of higher SOM and lower bulk density, that encourage marsh growth, as compared to hardened shorelines. (ii) Use an experimental mesocosm to test the effect of
shoreline substrate types (living vs hardened vs natural) and nitrogen loading (at four concentration 0, 12, 24, 36 ml) on the growth of <I>Spartina alterniflora</I>. No previous study has documented the growth of <I>Spartina</I> in response to inorganic N loading at various
shoreline substrate types.
My results show living
shoreline has significantly lower soil bulk density [F
2, 138 = 10.79, p <0.01] and higher SOM content than hardened
shoreline [F
2, 138 = 10.26, p <0.01]. Combinations of N addition decreased plants root-shoot ratio and resulted in increased dry shoot weight. These results indicate that living
shoreline is capable of trapping sediments within the nearshore environment, contributing to vertical marsh accretion by accumulation of organic matter, in the face of sea level rise.
Findings from this research provide insights to local government, planners, developers and consultants on the benefits of living
shoreline structures for the purpose of best
shoreline management practice.

▼ The objective of this research is to use geographic information systems (GIS) to quantify shoreline position change during 1954 and 1999 for Sapelo Island and Jekyll Island in Georgia, USA. Shorelines from multiple years were manually traced
from digital raster graphics, aerial photographs, digital orthophoto quad quadrangles and a lidar image using ArcView GIS software, Version 3.3. This study showed that the northern ends of Jekyll and Sapelo islands are eroding, whereas the southern ends
are accreting. Mann-Whitney test (two-tailed) indicated that the mean accretion rates and annual change rates (regardless of direction) of the two islands differed statistically during 1954-1974,1974-1993 and 1954-1999. The mean recession rates were
significantly different during 1954-1974 and 1974-1993, but not so for 1954-1999. Human activity exerted a heavy influence on the shoreline change. Quantifying shoreline change provides useful data on the effects of engineering structures on erosion and
is important for coastal zone management and planning.

▼ Recent evidence suggests that backbarrier structure may act as an historical record of island development, and that backbarrier shorelines can be used as a proxy of an island’s past and future transgressive response to sea-level rise. The structure and stability of back-barrier shorelines are dependent on the geologic framework, defined here as the combination of nearshore topography, underlying geology, and modern geomorphologic forces. This antecedent framework controls and influences the present morphology, nearshore dynamics, and rates of transgression in response to sea-level rise while also acting as a feedback to the estuary ecology on the bayside. It is therefore surprising that our understanding of backbarrier geomorphology is limited. There is a need for an established link between process regimes and an island’s geomorphological history. This thesis bridges the current intellectual gap.
The primary hypothesis of this project is that shorelines and bathymetric isolines share quantitative shape signatures indicative of their shared morphological past. To establish this link, the backbarrier shorelines of four United States National Seashores (Fire Island, NY; Assateague Island, MD; Santa Rosa Island, FL; and North Padre Island, TX) are digitized from aerial imagery using the marshline as the
shoreline indicator to ensure the inclusion of (vital, sometimes inundated) ecosystems and sediment storage. The alongshore variation of this backbarrier
shoreline, the mainland
shoreline, lagoon bathymetry, and nearshore bathymetry are each quantified through wavelet analysis and their shape signatures are examined for spatial correspondence. Large and small scale variations are identified and attributed to the geomorphologic controls operating on the same scale and alongshore variation. The result is an improved understanding of how the geologic framework controls backbarrier
shoreline shape, which is essentially an expression of the underlying geology.

▼ Sturgeon Lake located within the Kawarthas in Ontario is one of many freshwater lakes that are experiencing a transition from seasonal to permanently inhabited homes. This transition in development resulted in the intensification of clustering houses along the lake shoreline, impacting natural surroundings. This paper examines the ecological impacts housing developments have on lakes, examining the socio-economic impacts from the intensification of development. The goals of the paper are to examine the effects shoreline modifications have on lakes from cluster communities, to determine areas along Sturgeon Lake's shoreline that should be monitored to ensure that they are not further modified, and to bridge the gaps between management and sustainability plans for Sturgeon Lake's shoreline. Relationships were noticed between the type of housing, shoreline type, and type of roads in each development section. Increased habitation along the shoreline has resulted in increased nutrient discharge impacting the occurrences of eutrophication and algae.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The fixed sand bypass system at the Port of Ngqura was designed to match the natural longshore transport
rate. Several factors, such as natural pebble presence and pump downtime, have resulted in the
bypass system not matching the proposed transport rate. This shortfall has transpired to pressure from
parties with environmental interests arguing that, by missing the target, erosion would result along the
northern beaches. Concern was also expressed by Transnet National Port Authority, the operators of
the system, that the target was not a fair representation of the available sand for the bypass system
to pump. An investigation into the longshore transport rate and the Port of Ngqura’s effects on the
surrounding
shoreline thus became necessary.
A review of existing literature revealed that the
shoreline surrounding the port consists predominantly
of sandy beaches with underlying pebbles. The wave climate can be described by a dominant southwesterly
swell and a less frequent, but not insignificant, easterly swell. It was established that transport
rates passing the Port Elizabeth Harbour are approximately 180 000 m³/year to 230 000 m³/year. Progressing
northward, the stabilised
shoreline resulted in limited sand supply from the northern beaches
of PE and erosion has been witnessed at New Brighton Pier, amounting to approximately 160 000
m³/year. At the Port of Ngqura it was concluded that the net transport rate can be estimated to 160
000 m³/year to 200 000 m³/year in the northward direction, the latter being the chosen target rate.
Studies of historical images and beach survey data determined that erosion in close proximity to the port
was limited, likely due to the proximity to the discharge point and a high level of pebbles. Progressing
northward, erosion became more visible with the decrease of pebbles acting as a beach stabiliser. On
the southern beaches, accretion was evident against the breakwater and extended to approximately 1.8
km south of the port. The
shoreline northward of the Swartkops River exhibited evidence of steady
erosion, believed to be as a result of the sand supply deficiency caused by the PE Harbour and stabilised
shoreline north of PE Harbour.
Studies of the accretion concluded an approximate transport rate of 180 000 m³/year past the Port
of Ngqura. Transport rates were also calculated along the southern shore as calibration data for the
MIKE Littoral Process FM model.
Longshore transport model simulations concluded an average annual net transport rate of 225 000
m³/year in a northward direction. Considering all the results it was concluded that a transport rate
of 200 000 m³/year accurately represented the transport rate at the Port of Ngqura. Studies into the
variability determined that, in order to match the natural transport rate, the average pumped rate
should fall between 180 000 m³/year and 220 000 m³/year after five years, and after 10 years, between
190 000 m³/year and 210 000 m³/year.
Furthermore, the cross-shore transport…

▼ Assessing the possible impacts of future climate change is a major issue currently requiring attention by governments worldwide. By assessing the likely impacts of climate change for the full range of environmental and regional sectors, governments will be able to prioritise adaptive strategies to manage the climate change impacts in an economically responsible way. This study represents a portion of a NSW state government funded study assessing the possible impacts of climate change to the NSW coastline. As part of this study, a modelling approach capable of assessing the impact of climate change to the existing shoreline has been developed. The developed modelling approach, based on existing coastal engineering theory, has been designed specifically to assess the impact of climate change on shoreline response for an open coast beach. The time stepping model further develops the Miller and Dean (2004) cross-shore model using a geometric representation of the cross-shore profile. The geometric approach has been applied using Bruun Rule style conservation of mass principles. To assess the possible shoreline response to the combined impact of climate change driven sea level rise and variations in wave climate, developed cross-shore and longshore models have been dynamically linked. Combining of the modelling programs has enabled an efficient way to assess the likely impacts of climate change on shoreline response. Specifically, the assessment of the likely impacts of climate change variations predicted by McInnes et al. (2007) on Wooli Wooli Beach has been undertaken using this developed modelling approach. Summarising the findings specific to Wooli Wooli Beach, using the developed assessment approach, accounting for the combined impact of climate change on cross shore and longshore sediment transport processes, the results indicate there is a significant non-uniform alongshore response to the climate change forcing. The results show that greatest shoreline recession is likely to occur along the southern section of Wooli Wooli beach, adjacent to the northern training wall of the Wooli Wooli River. North of this location the shoreline recession results are reduced, with the northern section of Wooli Wooli beach exhibiting the smallest recession. Alongshore, for the three assessed climate change scenarios, at the southern end of Wooli Wooli beach where the predicted erosion is of the greatest magnitude between 73m and 83m of shoreline recession is predicted. Comparing the various scenario results, it is evident that the projected increases in sea level dominate the shoreline response at Wooli Wooli. Projected changes in wave climate are predicted to have an effect of the future shoreline evolution, though the magnitude of change is comparably less than that resulting from sea level rise in isolation. In the broader context of shoreline response to climate change, the Wooli Wooli assessment results highlight some interesting trends. The results indicate that shoreline response to sea level rise is highly non-uniform for…

▼ Mangroves are key indicator species that manifest the interplay of abiotic and biotic inputs or energy signatures of a particular location. Technological advancements in living
shoreline design have resulted in a growing interest in understanding and comparing the ecological role of mangroves along hardened shorelines to mangrove communities in natural settings. The objective of the present study was to compare fringe seawall and natural
shoreline mangrove stands using structural attributes in south Florida. Structural surveys were conducted in four study sites using the fixed-plot method where all sites were assessed for the following structural attributes: tree diameter, height, species, leaf size and area, and root density. Results demonstrated that there were few differences in structural characteristics both within and among study sites. A comparison with Neotropical mangroves showed that stands in south Florida exhibited similar structural attributes and complexities to natural fringe stands. Results from the present study have shown the importance of mangroves that exist in conjunction with hardened structures, highlighting the importance of incorporating mangroves as part of the urban landscape.

▼ Advancements in the miniaturization of sensors and their integration in lightâ€weight, smallscale unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have resulted in an explosion of uses for inexpensive and easily obtained remotely sensed data. This study examines the capabilities of a smallâ€scale UAS equipped with a consumer grade RGB camera for 2D and 3D mapping of a sandy bay shoreline using Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. Several key components are analyzed in order to assess the utility of UASâ€based SfM photogrammetry for beach and boundary surveying of the littoral zone. First, the accuracy of the 3D point cloud produced by the SfM densification process over the beach is compared to high accuracy RTK GPS transects. Results show a mean agreement of approximately 7.9 cm over the subâ€aerial beach with increased error in shallow water. Minimal effects of beach slope on vertical accuracy were observed. Secondly, bathymetric measurements extracted from the UAS/SfM point cloud are examined, and an optical inversion approach is implemented where the SfM method fails. Results show that a hybrid elevation model of the beach and littoral zone consisting of automatic SfM products, postâ€processed SfM products, and optical inversion provide the most accurate results when mapping over turbid water. Finally, SfMâ€derived shoreline elevation contour (boundary) is compared to a shoreline elevation contour derived using the currently accepted RTK GPS method for conducting legal littoral boundary surveys in the state of Texas. Results show mean planimetric offsets < 25 cm demonstrating the potential of UASâ€based SfM photogrammetry for conducting littoral boundary surveys along nonâ€occluded, sandy shorelines.

▼ Pilot Valley, located in the eastern Basin and Range, north of Wendover, UT, contains numerous shorelines and depositional remnants of late Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. These remnants present classic ground penetrating radar (GPR) targets due to their coherent stratification, low clay, low salinity, and low moisture content. Three-dimensional (3D) GPR imaging can resolve fine-scale stratigraphy of these deposits down to a few centimeters. While lake levels fluctuated due to flooding events, climatic changes were the dominant factor in controlling lake levels. In Pilot Valley, the paleowind entered from the northwest, with storms coming from the south, and circulated clockwise around the basin, forming offshore sand bars. On the western side of the valley, a uniquely well-preserved interpreted regressive phase beach deposit, dated late Pleistocene, is hypothesized to have been a point bar shortly after the Provo Shoreline period. 3D GPR data, measured stratigraphic sections, cores, mineralogical analysis, and the collection of gastropod samples for radiocarbon dating constrain a reconstruction of the deposit's depositional environment and local paleoclimate for Lake Bonneville. The GPR images, visualized with state-of-the-art petroleum industry tools, reveal fine-scale stratigraphic detail that can be analyzed using seismic stratigraphy concepts. Our study provides a comprehensive model for ancient pluvial lake-shore depositional environments in a Basin and Range setting using an integration of geological and geophysical data.
