Postglacial Fringing-Reef to Barrier-Reef conversion on Tahiti links Darwin's reef types
In 1842 Charles Darwin claimed that vertical growth on a subsiding foundation caused fringing reefs to transform into barrier reefs then atolls. Yet historically no transition between reef types has been discovered and they are widely considered to develop independently from antecedent foundations during glacio-eustatic sea-level rise. Here we reconstruct reef development from cores recovered b...
متن کاملDecadal-Timescale Estuarine Geomorphic Change Under Future Scenarios of Climate and Sediment Supply
Future estuarine geomorphic change, in response to climate change, sea-level rise, and watershed sediment supply, may govern ecological function, navigation, and water quality. We estimated geomorphic changes in Suisun Bay, CA, under four scenarios using a tidal-timescale hydrodynamic/sediment transport model. Computational expense and data needs were reduced using the morphological hydrograph ...
متن کاملA numerical model for the coupled long-term evolution of salt marshes and tidal flats
[1] A one-dimensional numerical model for the coupled long-term evolution of salt marshes and tidal flats is presented. The model framework includes tidal currents, wind waves, sediment erosion, and deposition, as well as the effect of vegetation on sediment dynamics. The model is used to explore the evolution of the marsh boundary under different scenarios of sediment supply and sea level rise...
متن کاملModeling fluvial erosion and deposition on continental shelves during sea level cycles
[1] A numerical model has been developed to predict the evolution and degree of incision and deposition by fluvial channels on the continental shelf during sea level cycles. Rainfall-runoff, mass wasting processes, and fluvial sediment entrainment and transport are simulated using the detachment-limited model of Howard [1994] on a grid that represents the morphology of the continental shelf and...
متن کاملSecond-Pass Assessment of Potential Exposure to Shoreline Change in New South Wales, Australia, Using a Sediment Compartments Framework
The impacts of coastal erosion are expected to increase through the present century, and beyond, as accelerating global mean sea-level rise begins to enhance or dominate local shoreline dynamics. In many cases, beach (and shoreline) response to sea-level rise will not be limited to passive inundation, but may be amplified or moderated by sediment redistribution between the beach and the broader...
