Abstract

The DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) is an academic, federal agency, and non-government collaborative community experiment supported by and planned under the U.S. Coastal Research Program (USCRP) to study nearshore coastal processes during storms. The motivation for DUNEX is to improve understanding, numerical representation, and prediction of storm processes and impacts; to exchange research ideas, to improve strategies for short- and long-term coastal resilience, and to develop more effective communication methods for coastal communities impacted by storms. This paper describes the DUNEX pilot study (Fall 2019) and the full experiment (Fall 2020) focused on storm measurements to be conducted along a 160-km stretch of the northern Outer Banks, North Carolina. The US Army Corps of Engineer’s Field Research Facility (FRF) will serve as the logistical base for the operation. Researchers may participate by planning and conducting an experiment, attending or leading a training session, or volunteering to assist with field work.
