Coastal erosion and sediment reworking caused by hurricane Irma - implications for storm impact on low-lying tropical islands

Michaela Spiske et al.

Summary: Hurricane Irma caused significant geomorphological changes on Anegada, with the north shore experiencing the most impact, including erosional scarps and sand sheets. In contrast, lobate overwash fans in the south are smaller in thickness. Beach recovery was observed within hours during a storm in February 2018, with nearshore sand playing a crucial role.

Complex drivers of reef-fronted beach change

Anna B. Mikkelsen et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Royal Hawaiian Beach in Waiki and examines the drivers of beach change over a two-year period. The results indicate that variations in water level and wave energy flux are the main factors influencing beach volume and width. Furthermore, the study identifies a sand-sharing network between beach segments and nearshore sand fields. The findings suggest that future beach maintenance costs may increase due to rising sea levels and extreme El Nino-Southern Oscillation events.

Small islands and climate change: analysis of adaptation policy in the Cayman Islands

Wendy Johnston et al.

Summary: This paper assesses the climate adaptation response in the Cayman Islands and reveals a lack of concrete climate change adaptation policies. Despite having a comprehensive draft Climate Change Policy, none of the substantial policies have been formally adopted by the Cayman Islands Government. The prevailing response to shoreline change in Seven Mile Beach is stabilization, and recent policy developments have not stimulated changes in practice.

Heightened storm activity drives late Holocene reef island formation in the central Pacific Ocean

Paul S. Kench et al.

Summary: This study presents a multi-phase model of the formation of two reef islands in Jaluit atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands, based on detailed surveys and analysis. The results highlight the complexity of island formation and suggest that future changes will depend on both sea level and storm processes.

Geomorphological impact of Hurricane Irma on Marco Island, Southwest Florida

Natalie Harvey et al.

Summary: The study found that Hurricane Irma had a significant impact on Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, causing dramatic changes to the spit from 1995 to 2017. The storm significantly influenced the northern and southern ends of the sand spit, resulting in a net gain of sediment on the barrier island and its surroundings.

Shoreline changes in coral reef islands of the Federated States of Micronesia since the mid-20th century

Meghna Sengupta et al.

Summary: With projections of accelerating sea-level rise and changing weather patterns due to anthropogenic climate change, the study analyzed shoreline changes on 104 coral reef islands in the western equatorial Pacific. The results showed that despite sea-level rise, accretion has been the predominant mode of shoreline change with some new islands formed while others eroded, revealing a dynamic geomorphic response of reef islands in this region.

Sediment supply dampens the erosive effects of sea-level rise on reef islands

Megan E. Tuck et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of sediment supply on the geomorphic response of coral reef islands, finding that sediment supply has a significant influence on island adjustments to sea-level rise, promoting increased elevation and dampening migration and volume reduction.
