Figure 3. The colorbar indicates geomorphology along the ocean shore of Cumberland Island National Seashore. Geomorphology within the red area consists of low discontinuous foredunes (< 2m), while the orange area consists of high or more continuous foredunes (> 2m). A) Photo taken from Long Point looking towards Christmas Creek. The dunes are low and generally coppice mounds near Long Point. B) Low elevation dunes located south of Christmas Creek. C) A location where the height of the foredune ridge changes. The photo is taken looking north from a high dune (> 5m). D) A high elevation foredune ridge that is actively migrating into maritime forest. E) and F) These are low elevation overwash areas where the foredune ridge is low or absent. G) and H) Although the dunes are lower here than at location C and D, they are more stable and continuous. H) The person is 1.8 m tall for scale. |
