Topographic changes associated with coastal dune blowouts at Island Beach State Park, New Jersey

Auteur :
GARES, P. A.

Description :
Topographic changes in two blowouts located in Island Beach State Park, New Jersey, were monitored over the winter of 1981-1982. Elevation changes were measured with erosion pins, and sediment traps placed at comparable locations in each blowout monitored the amount of sand moved by the wind. Discrete wind events were identified from regional data, and morphological data for the intervals with the highest onshore and offshore wind speeds are examined in detail.
