EP22A:
Coastal Geomorphology and Morphodynamics V

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17711

Session Description:
The geomorphology and sedimentology of coastal systems can be observed, monitored and modeled across a range of spatial and temporal scales, from studies of coastal evolution over the Quaternary to small-scale sediment transport processes.   The 2016 Coastal Geomorphology and Morphodynamics Session welcomes contributions based upon field observations, the application and development of models, investigations of sedimentary deposits, physical experiments, and interdisciplinary studies.  The session will include studies from a wide range of coastal settings including barrier systems, rocky and cliffed coasts, deltas, arctic coasts, marshes and lagoons, estuaries, and open coasts.
