Dune Response to Beach Nourishment

In response to beach & dune erosion, many coastal communities elect to “nourish” their beaches with sand from offshore reservoirs for added protection. We are leveraging relationships with our management partners to study the effect of beach nourishment on dune dynamics during a joint (i.e., multi-town) beach nourishment planned for summer 2022. Specifically, we aim to 1) track sediment fluxes post-nourishment spatially and temporally; and 2) identify local factors that hinder or accelerate sediment transport & deposition processes.
