Session ID#: 17665

Session Description:
Researchers investigating morphodynamics and transport in specific environments increasingly must consider impacts of neighboring domains, either as parts of an integrated system or as boundary conditions or forcing. This is especially true along continental margins, where the coastline, continental shelf, and estuaries themselves mark boundaries between terrestrial, fluvial, and oceanic domains; and experience feedbacks with atmospheric systems.  Understanding coastal systems depends on observational and lab studies that bridge spatial or disciplinary divides to characterize interactions of system components and fluxes across geographic boundaries.  Advances in numerical modeling have also facilitated such transdisciplinary research through model coupling and nesting, e.g., Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS) provides tools for combining modeling approaches for system components.

This session highlights coastal-system research that explores processes and feedbacks across traditional disciplinary and environmental boundaries. Observational, laboratory, and modeling studies bridging spatial domains, or interdisciplinary studies that blend physical, chemical, and biological processes are welcome.
