The Outer Banks of North Carolina: Budget of Sediment and Inlet Dynamics along a Migrating Barrier System
Inman DL and Dolan R. 1989. The Outer Banks of North Carolina: Budget of Sediment and Inlet Dynamics along a Migrating Barrier System. Journal of Coastal Research (JCR). 5(2):193-237
A study of the inlet dynamics of the Outer Banks of North Carolina from Cape Henry and Cape Hatteras, focusing on Oregon Inlet. Includes an introduction to the area and previous studies; geologic setting (physiography, sand dunes, barrier islands, sea level rise and barrier transgression); sediment transport patterns and shoreline changes; and mathematical formulas for the computation of sediment budget.
