A recent paper studying how higher sea levels will impact the evolution of barrier islands during hurricanes was released and highlighted by the NOAA Centers for Coastal and Ocean Science (NCCOS).
Hydrodynamics and Sediment Mobility on Coral Reefs
Check out a new paper where we look at the hydrodynamics over a dead coral reef during calm periods and stroms to better understand sediment mobility and distribution!
