Abstract

The morphodynamics of open-ocean barrier systems (barrier islands, barrier spits, and mainland or headland beaches), synthesizing classic studies, current scientific knowledge, and future research directions regarding a number of barrier systems globally are reviewed. Within a coastal tectonic framework, the authors address: (1) Amero-trailing-edge coasts (USA's New England coast, mid-Atlantic Bight coast, North Carolina Outer Banks, Georgia Bight coast, and Florida Atlantic coast; Brazil's Santa Catarina coast; German Bight coast; and southern and western Australian coasts); (2) marginal-sea coasts (USA's Florida Gulf Coast; Gulf Coast of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana; Texas Gulf Coast; and eastern Australian coast); and (3) collision coasts (USA's Alaskan Pacific coast and New Zealand). Moreover, the chapter includes a glossary and robust current set of references.
