| Slide 3 click 1 | Barrier island systems important for protection against coastal erosion, 44% within 150km, $3 tril on E coast alone. SLR seems to be changing how BI systems work. My focus will be on mixed energy systems. See stable barrier works like this, as tidal prism

And the sediment has to be deposited elsewhere, into these deltas

| Slide 4, click 1 | The main part of this project is going to be looking at the 14 barrier islands on VES. As you can see, here are those islands & in color are the various resources near them. Some previous work has been done on Assateague island, but that needs to be

Some previous work has been done on Assateague island, but that needs to be | expanded to draw any conclusions about the chain as a whole. The plan is to look in detail at 6 of the islands (asterisks). Geologically similar area. Since this type of BI system is so common to the coastal US, this study can hopefully be applied elswhre

| Slide 4, click 2 | Part of my job is going to entail mapping a similar system off the southern coast of NJ. This chain stretches from Barnegat in the north, to cape may point in the south.

| Slide 5, click 1 | The main methods of analysis are going to be GIS mapping, ground truthing using dGPS (google maps), and ground penetrating radar. We want to map where they are now using a combo of GIS and Google Earth.

| Slide 5, click 2 | Then we hope to use Ground Penetrating Radar to look into the subsurface and see how the system has changed over time. Depending on funding, in addition to these three, it would be beneficial to get several drill cores for stratigraphic analysis as well

These would be combined to produce morphodynamic models of stability, a 3D hydrodynamic model, and detailed high-resolution maps. All of these materials would then be distributed to local decision-

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
