abstract= | |||
Barrier islands that overlie a compressible substrate load and consolidate the underlying | |||
subsurface. Through time, the elevation and aerial extent of these islands are reduced, | |||
making them more susceptible to inundation and overwash. Sand washed over the island and | |||
onto back-barrier marsh or into the bay or estuary begins the consolidation process on | |||
a previously non-loaded substrate, with time-dependent consolidation a function of the | |||
magnitude of the load, duration of load, and characteristics of the substrate. | |||
The result is an increase in the overwash, migration, breaching, and segmentation | |||
of these islands.<br/> | |||
This research determined the degree to which consolidation affects the evolution of barrier | |||
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.| | |||
