They also are among the most dynamic barrier islands in the world, and hold within their sediments the history of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and clues to its likely future. This talk will focus on the geologic history, active present, and threatened future of Virginia’s barrier islands, with special emphasis on the formation and history of Chincoteague and Assateague islands, and ongoing work to forecast future change at Chincoteague Inlet. Hein’s research is primarily focused on coastal change, and forecasting the impacts of sea-level rise, changing coastal sediment supplies, and increased frequency/intensity of storms on barrier islands, marshes, tidal inlets, and the communities that live, work, and recreate on them. Locally, he leads the multi-institution Chincoteague Inlet Modeling Study, focused on the dynamics of, and best management practices for, Chincoteague Inlet and nearby barrier islands. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
