	note = {{\textquotedblleft}Coastal erosion poses a major threat to coastal communities by limiting beach access, endangering backshore infrastructure, and impacting ecologically important environments. The preservation of coastal foredunes, features which provide the first line of defense for liiting backshore flooding is of particular interest as a valuable form of green infrastructure{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (p.108) In this paper, the authors examine factors affecting dune growth and erosion. They compare three different sites on the Northwest Coast:  Oysterville, the Netarts Littoral Cell and South Beach. Field observations were supplemented with a modeling program, and the combination of the two has led to new insights.},

	title = {Morphological change and sand transport mechanisms in the dynamic dune complex of South Beach State Park, Oregon},
	journal = {Shore and Beach},
	volume = {82},
	year = {2016},
	note = {The dune field at South Beach State Park has been undergoing changes in recent years that have led to increased sand deposition in the Yaquina River channel.  The 1997-1998 El Ni{\~n}o caused three sand corridors to develop, through which sand is deposited into the ocean and brought into the inlet.  Change accelerated after the 2009-2010 El Ni{\~n}o. Sand fields have expanded and dunes have grown.  The result is that the volume of sand blown into the navigation channel has increased, and shoaling has grown by 30\% since 2011.  In response, the Army Corps of Engineers is looking into putting sand fences into the dune fields at South Beach.  This article examines past history, recent trends and environmental forces driving change. },

	note = {"Analyses of the progressive multidecadal trends and climate-controlled annual variations in mean sea levels are presented for nine tide-gauge stations along the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest: Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. The trends in relative sea levels are strongly affected by the tectonics of this region..." The two Oregon sites are Yaquina and Coos bays. Tectonic processes such as subsidence and uplift can affect trends in relative sea levels. In the Yaquina Bay area, the land is slowly sinking, and the area has seen more sea level rise than an area such as Neah Bay, where the land is rising. Significant climate events such as El Nino are noted. This work has shown a trend for progressively higher wave heights in large storms, and the size of the largest waves is increasing at the highest rate, which has significant implications for coastal erosion.},
