Abstract
ABSTRACT Paine, J.G.; Caudle, T.L., and Andrews, J.R., 2017. Shoreline and sand storage dynamics from annual airborne LIDAR surveys, Texas Gulf Coast. Annual airborne LIDAR surveys were conducted along the Texas Gulf of Mexico shoreline between 2010 and 2012 to map shoreline position, determine shoreline movement and its historical context, and quantify beach and dune morphology by determining elevation threshold area (ETA) relationships for Holocene barrier islands, strandplains, and fluvial and deltaic headlands and marshes. Historical (1800s to 2007) movement is erosional for all major Texas shoreline segments, averaging 1.3 m/y of retreat. Shorelines retreated between 2007 and 2010 at a higher average rate of 2.8 m/y because of erosion and partial recovery from Hurricanes Ike (2008), Humberto (2007), and Dolly (2008). Despite the erosional context, airborne LIDAR surveys show that the shoreline advanced at 75% of 11,783 monitoring sites between 2010 and 2011 and moved an average of 6.5 m seaward durin...
