Description:

The July-August 2021 Issue of the Sound Waves Newsletter is Out! Learn about barrier island research, deep sea "stepping stones," 5,000th sample at Stellwagen Bank, and 3D seafloor elevation data in the Florida Keys Explore Coastal Change Hazards Video Explore how we work to address the Nation’s coastal hazards challenges Watch Now Climate change will continue preventing coral reef growth USGS scientists predict future climate change will continue to suppress coral reef growth in the subtropics Read Story Impacts of Sediment Management on Barrier Islands Sediment removal and placement can affect wildlife, ecosystems, and coastal resilience Read More Research programs have a primary focus of investigating processes related to coastal and marine environments and societal implications related to natural hazards, resource sustainability, and environmental change. As Hurricane Ida approached the U.S. northern Gulf coast, the USGS Coastal Change Hazards team produced a series of forecasts for impacts on the beach. Forecasts were updated daily based on wave and storm surge forecasts from NOAA. Kathryn Smith and Christopher G. Smith of the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center will present their research during the “Ecological processes” session of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve Research Symposium on September 10. Learn about some of our barrier island research, deep sea "stepping stones," our 5000th sample at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and more in this July-August 2021 issue of Sound Waves.  Year Published: 2021 Holocene evolution of sea-surface temperature and salinity in the Gulf of Mexico Flows into and out of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are integral to North Atlantic ocean circulation, and help facilitate poleward heat transport in the Western Hemisphere. The GoM also serves as a key source of moisture for much of North America. Modern patterns of sea-surface temperature (SST) and salinity in the GoM are influenced by the Loop...

Attribution: St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, Region 2: South Atlantic-Gulf (Includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) Year Published: 2021 Coastal wetland shoreline change monitoring: A comparison of shorelines from high-resolution WorldView satellite imagery, aerial imagery, and field surveys Shoreline change analysis is an important environmental monitoring tool for evaluating coastal exposure to erosion hazards, particularly for vulnerable habitats such as coastal wetlands where habitat loss is problematic world-wide. The increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery and emerging developments in analysis techniques... Smith, Kathryn; Terrano, Joseph; Pitchford, Jonathan L; Archer, Michael Attribution: St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, Region 2: South Atlantic-Gulf (Includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) Year Published: 2021 An efficient method to calculate depth-integrated, phase-averaged momentum balances in non-hydrostatic models Analysis of the mean (wave-averaged) momentum balance is a common approach used to explain the physical forcing driving wave set-up and mean currents in the nearshore zone. Traditionally this approach has been applied to phase-averaged models but has more recently been applied to phase-resolving models using post-processing, whereby model output... da Silva, Renan F.; Rijnsdorp, Dirk P.; Hansen, Jeff E.; Lowe, Ryan J.; Buckley, Mark L.; Zijlema, Marcel Attribution: St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program, Region 2: South Atlantic-Gulf (Includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
