The USGS Coastal Change Processes Project is offering a five-year grant to investigate the complex interactions of shoreline, nearshore, and offshore sediment transport. This research aims to understand the processes driving coastal change using geophysical surveys, oceanographic studies, and predictive models. A key focus is assessing coastline resiliency following the significant impact of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, particularly along Fire Island, NY. The study will analyze sediment transport along the coast and inner shelf, where elongated sediment ridges on the ocean floor influence shoreline response during storms. This grant is for advancing our understanding of coastal dynamics and improving predictive capabilities for future events.

| Description: | The USGS Coastal Change Processes Project is offering a funding opportunity for a five year effort investigating the interactions of shoreline, nearshore, and offshore sediment transport process driving coastal change using geophysical surveys, oceanographic studies, and predictive models. The recent impact of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 created significant impact along the US northeast coastline. In order to assess the resiliency of the coastline to change, research is required in studying the transport of sediment along the coast and on the inner shelf, specifically along Fire Island, NY, a section of coast that was severely impacted. The inner shelf in this region is characterized with elongated sediment ridges along the ocean floor that interact with along-shelf currents and cross-shelf waves to drive converging and diverging sediment patterns. These inner shelf ridges are exerting an influence on the shoreline response during storms, significantly during Hurricane Sandy. |
