Abstract:In this study, a numerical morphodynamic model eXtreme Beach behaviour (XBeach) was used to simulate the effects of land cover on the shape of the post storm profile s at two test sites on barrier islands at Outer Banks, North Carolina. The simulations included dune erosion and overwash regimes and were carried out with and without the inclusion of land cover effects. The model results were assessed by comparing post storm profiles extracted from XBeach and Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data. The simulat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
