Investigating the Internal Stratigraphy of Foredunes of the Duluth Barrier System : Application of Ground Penetrating Radar on Aeolian Landforms Critical for Protecting Vulnerable Lakeshore Communities
(2022-04)
The purpose of this research project is to analyze four representative foredunes along the Duluth Barrier System (DBS) in Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin, U.S.A., using ground penetrating radar (GPR). The largest ...
GPR Investigation of the Great Dune Ridge, Naglių Nature Reserve, Lithuania : A Historic Landscape Threatened by Natural and Anthropogenic Causes
(2021-04)
Since the beginning of the 19th century, aeolian sand dunes, which are piles of loose sediment, have dominated the Curonian Spit. The sediment in aeolian dunes has been eroded and transported by wind. The World Heritage ...
GPR Investigation of the Nebraska Sandhills
(2022-04)
The Nebraska Sandhills are 19,300 square miles of vegetated linear aeolian dunes in the Great Plains region, in north-central Nebraska. The goal of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) research on the Nebraska Sandhills is ...
Analysis of Paired Linear Dune Stratigraphy in the Nebraska Sand Hills Utilizing Ground Penetrating Radar
(2024-04)
The paired linear dunes in Nebraska were last active 700-1000 years ago when the last significant period of drought occurred. Reduction in vegetated cover in the previous drought resulted in aeolian [wind blown] process ...
Examining Coastal Resiliency in Restored Foredunes, Humboldt Bay, California
(2024-04)
Coastal communities are under increasing pressure because of sea level rise, storm surges, coastal flooding, and anthropogenic climate change. The coastline of Humboldt County, California, experiences the fastest rates of ...
Investigating Coastal Resiliency in Managed vs. Unmanaged Foredunes in Humboldt Bay, California
(2024-04)
Coastal communities are under increasing pressure from sea level rise and storm surges amplified by anthropogenic climate change. In Northern California, Humboldt Bay endures the fastest rates of sea level rise in California. ...
Investigating Fluvial Sediment Supply to Coastal Beach-Dune Systems, Humboldt Bay, California
(2024-04)
Coastal communities around the world are under increasing pressure because of sea level rise, storm surges, coastal flooding, and anthropogenic climate change. Humboldt County, California, experiences the fastest rates of ...
