Their presence can provides clues about: Wind direction Sand supply, Storm history (scarps & washovers) Erosion history Sea level change Shoreline stability (with vegetation) Relative age Presence of inlets Man s influence Dune Types and Morphology Along NC coast there are two major types of dunes and several variations. Transverse Parabolic Medanos Sand sheets Slipface Transverse Dunes Parabolic dunes Dune Types and Morphology Parabolic Recurved Dunes and Spit Growth Recurved dune ridge complexes typically develop on the updrift side of migrating inlets. Sand Sheet Caswell Beach,NC Caswell Beach,NC Parabolics Parabolics Parabolics New Topsail Inlet Rich Inlet
2 SC Spits and Recurved Dune Lines Large sand supply at migrating inlets leads to development of a variety of recurved dune complexes. Kiawah Island, SC Kiawah Island Modified Dune Ridges Vegetation has been stripped on some dune ridges (on regressive barriers). Results in remobilization of sand. Vegetation changes due to fires, hurricanes, man s activities (timber for boats & grazing). Remobilization of sand leads to different dune morphology (plan view and height).
