Assateague Island

The primary barrier dune on the northern portion of Assateague Island, Maryland is presently being scarped on its seaward face and breached by storm-generated surges. During storms, sediment-ladened water moves across the dune line onto the barrier flats as overwash. The objective of this project is to determine the role overwash plays in barrier island sedimentary dynamics. An overwash model has been suggested. The nonvegetated overwash fan serves as a reservoir for the eventual distribution of the storm-deposited sand. Eolian processes, after the storm, determine the net contribution of overwash sand to each of the different morphological features, i.e., dunes, marsh, beach, etc.

Flagship Species – Flagship Problems: recovery of species at risk and the conservation of biodiversity in Canada1This introduction is part of the virtual symposium “Flagship Species – Flagship Problems” that deals with ecology, biodiversity and management issues, and climate impacts on species at risk and of Canadian importance, including the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), and caribou (Rangifer tarandus).

This is an Introduction to a series of review articles, entitled Flagship Species – Flagship Problems, that identify, review, and address key problems, solutions, and contradictions linked to conservation and recovery of four iconic species at risk in Canada (polar bear, Ursus maritimus Phipps, 1774; Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L., 1758; Piping Plover. Charadrius melodus Ord, 1824; caribou, Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)), as well as one review article dealing with the more systemic impacts of habitat loss and degradation. The reviews are cast in the context of the broader challenge of maintaining and restoring biodiversity.
