Coastal Biophysical Interactions: Hydrodynamics, Sedimentary Processes, Morphodynamics, and Coastal Resiliency

Session ID#: 160316

Session Description:
Coastal landscapes are shaped through biophysical interactions between hydro-morphodynamic, biological and ecological processes. Organisms across the water column and the substrate affect hydrodynamics, sediment transport and geomorphic change at various spatial and temporal scales. This session welcomes scientific advances on ecohydraulic and biogeomorphic interactions across coastal and estuarine environments. Areas of interest may include but are not limited to: flow-sediment-vegetation interactions, benthic effects on flow, sediment transport and mixing, and biophysical responses to human impact, extreme events or climate change. We encourage participation of studies including aquatic vegetation, microbial mats, algae, oyster and coral reefs, fish, and micro- and macrofauna. 

This session aims for a wide range of near-shore marine settings such as barrier islands, estuaries, coastal lagoons, bays, marshes, mangroves, seagrasses, and reefs. We welcome contributions which draw connections between ecological and physical processes in coastal, tidal, and estuarine settings using field, laboratory, remote sensing, theoretical, and numerical methods.
