A millennium-long management perspective for promoting the geological-social resiliency of barrier islands: a preliminary proposal for Fire Island, NY

Abstract: Barrier islands, such as Fire Island, NY, are complex geological-social systems, driven by mesoscale (centuries/ millennia) processes. The natural resiliency of these thin, linear landforms depends mainly on their capacity to migrate landward (rollover) in response to the slow, persistent rise of sea level. This happens by overwash processes during storm surges, whereby beach and dune sand on the ocean side is eroded and transferred to the island's interior and back-barrier shore. Also storm breaches and inlet… Show more
