Vegetated coastal dunes are an integral part of the North Carolina 

 barrier islands and can serve to protect estuaries, roads, and structures 

 from the effects of the open ocean.

 sediment transport system of a coastal barrier chain, Middle Atlantic 

 Bight. Journal of Sedimentary Petrology 43(3) :748-764. 



Comparative size analyses of adjacent foreshore, berm, and dune sediments 

 were conducted along a coastal barrier chain of the Middle Atlantic Bight 

 between Cape Henry, Virginia, and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

Comparative polynominal trend analyses of textural parameters were con- 

 ducted on adjacent foreshore, berm, and dune sediment populations along 

 a coastal barrier chain of the Middle Atlantic Bight between Cape Henry, 

 Virginia, and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

 Journal of Geophysical Research 78:1462-1471. 



This paper introduces numerical and theoretical tests of a beach profile 

 transition model on the Outer Banks, North Carolina, in which profile 

 changes were found to take the form of systematic transitions among a 

 family of six major profile states.
