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

Contributors: Benedet, Lindino, Campbell, Thomas, Finkl, Charles W.
Publisher: Coastal Education and Research Foundation, Inc. (CERF)
Description: In this paper, we review physical, geological, and environmental parameters of the Louisiana Chenier Plain to support the definition of regional strategies and management practices for long-term coastal restoration along this coastal segment. For management purposes, the Chenier Plain of Louisiana is divided into three main coastal segments that could be maintained over the long term.… 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. Deployed along the southeast Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties)coast, an advanced ALB system provided a continuous… more

Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
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 large North Pacific bivalve mollusk index-fossil Fortipecten hallae (Dall, 1921) is present in a well-dated stratigraphic section of the Milky River Formation, Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska. Co-occurring marine diatoms belong to the upper part of the subzone B of the Neodenticula kamtschatica diatom zone of the North Pacific diatom chronostratigraphy, with an age range of 4.8–5.1 Ma (… 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

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
