Abstract
Numerous regional geophysical mapping efforts have taken place along the mid‐Atlantic coast over the past 20 years, illuminating the relationship between relict geology and coastal processes. Results have demonstrated that variability in the structural framework of the coastal plain is important in controlling regional‐scale shoreline evolution and sediment availability. Furthermore, variations in the geologic character (grain size, consolidation, composition, morphology, etc.) of the shelf and nearshore have been linked to long‐term (centennial and greater) and short‐term (decadal to centennial) shoreline evolution. Despite these spatial relationships, little information regarding the variability of geologic properties is accounted for in numerical models of shoreline change, leading to outputs that do not accurately characterize natural and human‐induced shoreline behavior.
