Summary

Note: this data release has been deprecated. Find the updated version here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9O21FQI These data provide grain-size measurements from sediment samples collected as part of the USGS DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) site on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, NC. DUNEX is a multi-agency, academic, and non-governmental organization collaborative community experiment designed to study nearshore coastal processes during storm events. USGS participation in DUNEX will contribute new measurements and models that will increase our understanding of storm impacts to coastal environments, including hazards to humans and infrastructure and changes in landscape and natural habitats. The grain-size analysis data [...]

Purpose

Grain-size analysis was performed on sediment samples collected from the DUNEX site on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, NC in support of hydrodynamic, topographic, and bathymetric DUNEX measurements. The sediment samples were collected at or near DUNEX moorings that were installed for instruments that collected hydrodynamic data. These moorings included jetted, vertical pipes in a cross-shore array that spanned the dune/beach and nearshore environments as well as a bottom landing frame (nanopod) in the nearshore environment. These grain-size analysis data may also be used in numerical models of coastal dynamics as part of the DUNEX experiment.
