Beaches and barrier islands- physical and geological processes

An overview of the relevant processes, as well as geological data and models that shape beaches and barrier islands. These presentations were made at a 2014 tidal marsh coordination workshop held in Hadley, MA. They provide the context for the outer coast geophysical settings that influence not only the beach environment but also for coastal marshes.

Links to presentations on beach processes from December 2014 tidal marsh coordination workshop held in Hadley, MA. These presentations are also posted with the entire slate of presentations made at the 2014 marsh resilience workshop in the marsh resilience workspace.
