COASTL Receives NSF RAPID to Study Florence’s Impact on the Seafloor The North Carolina coast was hit hard by strong winds, powerful waves and flooding from Hurricane Florence. As a result, many beach communities experience substantial beach and dune erosion, such along Bogue Banks (pictured). Offshore sand sources are anticipated to be used in the […]
