Description: Differentiation of continental shelf morphology along the southeast Florida Atlantic coast was based on interpretation of airborne laser bathymetry. The 600-km2 shelf study area, which had a shoreline extent of about 160 km and extended up to 10 km offshore, displayed a diverse range of seafloor morphologies that were characteristic of four main alongshore reaches. Reach I (sand flats and karst… more

Description: Airborne laser bathymetric (ALB) systems rapidly acquire large, high-quality datasets via variable swath widths that are independent of water depth. Laser bathymetric survey tools have applicability in clear coastal (Case II) waters down to 270 meters depth.

Description: Remote sensing of coastal marine environments has long challenged coastal researchers who have searched for automated methods based on supervised classifications. Due to complexities in water clarity and attenuation of spectral reflection with water depth, this study focused on visual interpretation of IKONOS satellite images in an effort to ascertain the general nature of bottom types.… more

Description: The Dalmatian coast has been described by an occasional poet as the site where chalk and sea meet. If in frequent political turmoil, it also has shown to be equally an area of frequent geomorphologic events. The riparian countries have been trying, with some success, to make a tourism trump of what Emmanuel de Martonne appropriately labelled une côte morcelée. The paper focuses on the region’s… more

Sediment Ridges on the West Florida Inner Continental Shelf: Sand Resources for Beach Nourishment
Type: Text
Year: 2007, 2007
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Andrews, Jeffrey L., Benedet, Lindono, Finkl, Charles W., Locker, Stanley D., Suthard, Beau
Description: Beach nourishment requires large volumes of sand from offshore and new sources are constantly sought for development.
The sediment-starved continental shelf off the central-west coast of Florida has traditionally supplied beachquality
sediments from ebb-tidal shoals and nearshore sand sheets, but as these supplies dwindle, sand searches
increasingly look farther offshore for resources. Widely… more

Description: It might be argued that this paper does not sensu stricto contribute to ‘‘polar science.’’ It, however, rekindles aspects of its history and of that of both oceanography and cartography. Obviously the interest for the polar regions was keen in the 19th century and elicited financial support. The paper may lift anew the veil that has somewhat dimmed the light that should shine on polar science… more

Description: Because of the large volumes of sand required for beach renourishment, dredging from offshore borrows is the preferred method of sediment supply. As easily accessible and previously known (obvious) deposits are exploited, apparent sand reserves are seen as a dwindling resource that becomes more precious over time. Because economically exploitable offshore sand sources are limited in many regions… more
