Disciplines 101 Seminar #2
“Geomorphology of Sandy Coastlines”
Laura Moore (UNC – Chapel Hill) and Brad Murray (Duke University)
This second session described 1) how sandy shorelines and barriers are created, maintained, and moved by wave and storm processes and rising sea level, and 2) how human actions interact with the processes that reshape and potentially maintain barrier environments.
