Intermittent Aeolian Saltation: A Protocol For Quantification
The quantification of saltation intermittency—the proportion of time when sand transport occurs—provides valuable information about the nature of aeolian systems, including insights concerning threshold conditions for sand transport. Intermittency has been measured in numerous studies, but a lack of measurement standardization often makes the comparison of results difficult. Four methodological factors influence estimates of intermittency: sample…
Coastal and Marine Hazards, Risks, and Disasters
Foredune Texture: Landscape Metrics and Climate
Coastal dunes are sensitive ecosystems because of their location at the juncture of terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric environments. This is especially the case for foredunes and the vegetation they support. Considerable attention is paid to the characteristics of foredunes and dune vegetation, but there has been no systematic study of patterns of bare sand on foredune surfaces—foredune textures—and the climate variables controlling those patte…
Wither Physical Geography: 100 Volumes of the Geographical Review
The centennial volume of Geographical Review marks a distinct milestone for the discipline of geography in North America. Great editorial leadership, landmark articles, recognition as a flagship journal: all traditions tagged to the Geographical Review. It has been my privilege, as a member of the Editorial Board, to have been part of that enterprise for most of the last quarter-century. I have worked with inspirational editors--Doug McManis (sti…
Benchmarking the War Against Global Warming
We analyzed the HadCRUT3 reconstruction of the instrumental global temperature record for 1850 through 2008 to decompose thirty-year temperature trends into signal and noise components. The signal represents multidecadal trends and the noise represents annual variability about those trends. Historical estimates of temperature variability (e.g., noise) are used with seven temperature projections to simulate global warming time series. These trends…

Aerial Photo-Interpretation in Terrain Analysis and Geomorphological Mapping
Empirical Evaluation of Longshore-Current Models
This article evaluates ability of three models (Longuet-Higgins, Komar and Inman, and a modified Longuet-Higgins approach) to replicate observed longshorecurrent velocities. These models were based on concept of local driving forces induced by radiation stress. Observation of longshore-current velocities was part of a field investigation of nearshore system at Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Correspondence between observed and predicted velocities was as…
