A | island systems overlying a poorly consolidated substrate, both for natural islands and those that have been restored with an infusion of sand from an external source. A | ||
two-dimensional (cross-shore) mathematical model was developed, | |||
tested with field data, and then applied to evaluate how a | |||
compressible substrate modifies long-term barrier island | |||
evolution. The model spans time durations of years to decades and represents | |||
cross-shore evolution of a sandy barrier island due to erosion, | |||
runup, overwash, migration, and time-dependent consolidation of the | |||
underlying substrate due to loading by the island.}} | |||
