dc.description.abstractSequential shoreline monitoring, using vintage charts and aerial photographs, documents temporal and spatial variations in historical Gulf shoreline changes. The regional distribution of shoreline erosion and accretion largely reflects changes in littoral drift cells, decreases in sediment supply, and continuing relative sea-level rise including compactional subsidence. Shoreline erosion is caused by the complex interaction of climate, sediment budget, coastal processes, relative sea-level conditions, and human activities. Present data indicate that most of the Texas Coast will continue to retreat landward as part of a long-term erosional trend.en_US
