Understanding and predicting coastal change is facilitated by understanding how different coastal environments responded to past conditions. This is best done using Holocene geological records. The Texas coast is well suited for this approach because of its range of coastal environments, excellent preservation of late Holocene deposits, and results from decades of research focused on the coast's evolution.
Understanding and predicting coastal change is facilitated by understanding how different coastal environments responded to past conditions. This is best done using Holocene geological records. The Texas coast is well suited for this approach because of its range of coastal environments, excellent preservation of late Holocene deposits, and results from decades of research focused on the coast's evolution. During this field trip, we will visit several coastal environments and discuss how they evolved during the late Holocene and how they are currently responding to accelerating sea-level rise, increasing aridity, hurricane impacts, and human influence.
