ABSTRACT Kish, S.A. and Donoghue, J.F., 2013. Coastal response to storms and sea-level rise: Santa Rosa Island, northwest Florida, U.S.A.. In: Brock, J.C.; Barras, J.A., and Williams, S.J.

The western panhandle coast of northwest Florida is wave dominated and microtidal. Major storms are infrequent but have a significant effect on coastal morphology. Santa Rosa Island, a 75-kilometer long barrier, is the major coastal feature of the region. The island is narrow, with an average width of 500 meters. During most of the historical period, prominent foredunes, ranging as high as 7 meters, have helped keep the island's sediment budget in near equilibrium.
