Book excerpt: The Inner Continental Shelf of North Carolina between the South Carolina border and Cape Lookout was investigated to obtain information on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and geologic structure. Primary survey coverage consists of 512 statute miles (824 kilometers) of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and 124 cores ranging in length from 2 to 20 feet (0. 6 to 6. 1 meters). Sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of nearby beaches was located, described, and mapped for 27 potential offshore borrow sites. This sand occurs commonly in thin sheet deposits or as relict channel fill. However, extensive sand deposits exist in shoals off Cape Fear and Cape Lookout and in other low isolated shoals on the shelf floor and within the shoreface area. (Author).

Book excerpt: Coastlines around the world are environmentally and economically crucial to society but are being threatened by storms, sea-level rise and erosion. Beach nourishment is a widely used shoreline stabilization strategy that creates increased storm protection and other physical and economic benefits. This dissertation investigated multiple geologic and economic questions related to the management of sandy coastlines in North Carolina (NC), and work is separated into three chapters addressing different aspects. Using 22 months of terrestrial laser scanning, this research examined the evolution of a nourished, managed versus a non-managed beach-dune system and associated drivers of change. Largely due to anthropogenic factors (e.g., fencing and plantings) and increased sediment supply at the nourished site, the managed dunes accreted 1.7 times faster than the dunes in the unmanaged system. Observations showed storms are not just erosional, but also can increase overall dune volumes during optimal wind conditions, despite scarping to the dune toe. As erosion and sea-level rise persist, beach nourishment will continue, if not increase in the future. Because nearshore sand borrow sources may diminish, continental shelf resources may become necessary. This work examined the distribution of potential sand sources offshore southern NC. More than 300 nm (55 km) of sub-bottom, sidescan and core data showed the distribution of modern sand is complex and irregular. Some paleochannels contained viable sediment for beach nourishment, however, variable lithologies in others are not usable as a sand resource. Overall, geologic framework significantly influences the complex distribution of potential sand resources, hardbottom, and paleochannels. Reconnaissance data such as those produced for this study are critical to prevent multi-use conflicts on shelf areas under increasing demand (e.g,. wind, oil/gas). Nourishment is costly due to comprehensive geologic surveying and engineering practices. The last chapter investigated several communities in northeast NC (Dare County) that have recently used local funding to pay for expensive projects through county-derived occupancy taxes and municipal service tax districts. Oceanfront homeowners clearly receive the most benefits from nourishment, however this work examined the coastal housing market and homeowner's responses to nourishment. Results showed inland and soundfront homeowners capitalized on the opportunity to rent due to increased amenity value from nourishment. Increased rentals generate more in occupancy taxes and should be considered by policymakers when developing funding structures and assessing the long-term sustainability of nourishment. Overall, this research highlights the complexity of several integrated geologic, economic and policy issues on the coast. Coastal managers and planners should incorporate an understanding of these coupled natural and human responses to future management of sandy shorelines.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inner Continental Shelf off the North Carolina coast between the South Carolina border and Cape Lookout, North Carolina, was surveyed to obtain information on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and structures. The location and the extent of deposits of sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of nearby beaches were investigated. Primary survey coverage consisted of 824 kilometers (445 nautical miles) of seismic reflection survey and 139 cores ranging in length from 0.6 to 6.1 meters (2 to 20 feet). More than half of the area surveyed is underlain by two thick sections of Coastal Plain sediments characterized by seaward-dipping progradational internal beds which generate a characteristic acoustic pattern on seismic reflection records. These beds are exposed on the shelf floor in places and elsewhere are covered by a thin sediment blanket. Samples of these extensive units indicate that one is of Cretaceous age and the other of Oligocene age. Both units consist predominantly of fine quartz sand. Other sediment units closely underlying the shelf floor consist of planar-to complex-bedded sheet and channel-fill deposits of predominantly quartz sand or biogenic calcium carbonate. These deposits range in age from Eocene to Holocene. Modern sediment accretion on the inner shelf appears to be largely restricted to the shoal fields off Cape Lookout and Cape Fear, and to inlet shoals along the coast.
