Location: Coastal Florida (west and east coasts)

Description: The sediment elevation table (SET) program is a series of more than a dozen wetland monitoring stations on the west and NE Florida coasts. The program was initiated by the Florida Geological Survey’s Coastal Program, with cooperation from FSU researchers. The stations monitor sediment accretion, elevation change, subsidence and sea-level change. Several FSU coastal geology students have been involved in the project in recent years.

Faculty Involved: Dr. Joseph Donoghue (EOAS), grad students, FGS personnel.

Location: St. Vincent Island, NW Florida (Franklin County)

Description: We are studying the relatively undisturbed barrier islands of the NE Gulf of Mexico with the goal of understanding how small-scale changes in sea level during the late Holocene have interacted with sediment supply to effect geomorphologic change. St. Vincent Island is a unique strandplain comprising more than 100 beach ridges, each representing the island shoreline as the island has advanced into the Gulf of Mexico. We have been using optical dating (OSL) to develop a detailed history of island development and response to sea-level change.

Faculty Involved: Dr. Joseph Donoghue (EOAS), grad students

Location: NW Florida (Walton, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties)

Description: We are investigating the potential effects of near-term (~100 years) sea-level change on the northwest Florida coast. The interdisciplinary environmental project is examining potential changes to natural coastal systems and infrastructure in response to several scenarios of sea-level rise and storminess. We are using remote-sensing data and field measurements of coastal environments as input to an integrated modeling effort designed to predict changes to coastal systems and human infrastructure. The modeling results will be used to evaluate how to make reliable predictions of the effects of future climate change and to enable cost-effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Faculty Involved: Dr. Joseph Donoghue (EOAS), Dr.. James Elsner (FSU-Geography), Dr. Bill Hu (EOAS), Dr. Stephen Kish (EOAS), Dr. Yang Wang (EOAS), Dr. Ming Ye (FSU-Computational Science), and Dr. Alan Niedoroda (URS Corp.), and several graduate student assistants.

Location: NW Florida (Walton County)

Description: This project is investigating the record of major storm impacts on the NW Florida coast, using sediment cores from coastal lakes. We are using both sedimentologic and geochemical proxies, along with sediment geochronology, to reconstruct storm history over the past several millennia. The results will be combined with the historic storm record to model future storms and develop a more complete understanding of storm occurrence and risk for the NW Florida coast.

Faculty Involved: Dr. Joseph Donoghue (EOAS), Dr. James Elsner (FSU-Geography), Dr. Yang Wang (EOAS), Dr. Ming Ye (FSU-Computational Science), Dr. Alan Niedoroda (URS Corp.), and graduate students Jen Coor (EOAS) and Oindrila Das (EOAS).
