The Current Wave was created and is managed by Daniel Barone. The purpose of this blog is to share and discuss any and all information about new approaches, methodologies, and technologies related to coastal science. Additionally, this blog is used to inform the public about changes along shorelines throughout the world, and in particular New Jersey. Daniel Barone is a coastal geomorphologist specializing in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and modeling.

Good to hear. The data we've been collecting has been showing that beach-dune systems that have received replenishment did not have overwash and/or breaching. It was the velocity of water and waves as a result of Hurricane Sandy that caused the most destruction in areas that did not have an engineered beach. Back-bay flooding is always going to be a problem, especially on the barrier islands, but if the structure is no longer on the foundation, then a homeowner has to rebuild as opposed to mitigating flood damages (which costs considerably less).

Friends, This is the beach-dune susceptibility assessment report for Long Beach Island, completed in 2009 by the stockton crc for the NOAA Coastal Services Center. The model is based on year 2005-data, so the shore protection projects have not been taken into account. Also, we did not model the 100-year storm, since the model became meaningless when applying such a large magnitude event to the storm simulations (similar to Hurricane Sandy) - it was assumed that with the 100-year event, wide-scale overwash and breaching would occur (and complete dune failure). The 50-year storm maximum gives a good idea of where the most vulnerable areas are. If you're interested in maps displaying you're beach-dune systems vulnerability, Check out the PDF map plot for the 50-year event here: http://crcgis.stockton.edu/dune_assessment/soc/maps/50-yr-suscept-map.pdf Questions of comments? Tweet me at @thecurrentwave or @stocktoncrc or reply on Facebook... #sandy #lbi #duneerosion #GIS #geospatial #coastalscience #lidar

This author brings up some very good points. I've owned apple products since 2005 and I must agree - I've had major software compatibility issues with OS updates to my Macbook Pro. As a GIS user I also use Windows and the cross-platform issues are never ending - it has gotten to the point where I primarily load Windows XP from bootcamp to do any sort of work (GIS, Excel, Word, Email, etc). I will say that Google got it right with cross-platform compatibility in Android. This kind of flexibility is very helpful in the tech world.
