  9. We're going to wrap this up; any last questions? #gschat1 11:12 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic
  10. You'd expect stronger storms to result in more change, but it's more complicated than that, and it's our job to figure that out. #gschat1 11:11 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic
  11. There is tremendous variability in coastal change, storm to storm and year to year. Extracting long term trends is elusive. #gschat1 11:05 AM Sep 2nd from web
  12. Geophys_Chris asks: given recent discussions increase in avg hurr strength, have you noticed an increase in coastal impacts/changes #gschat1 11:04 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic
  13. Those answers related to @Geophys_Chris: what are some ++ that come from hurr's affect on coastal areas that might surprise ppl #gschat1 11:03 AM Sep 2nd from web
  14. However, hurricanes like Rita can also disrupt and physically destroy marshes #gschat1 11:00 AM Sep 2nd from web
  15. The storm surge from Hurr Rita pushed water and fine sediment as much as 20 miles inland helping build and maintain some marshes... #gschat1 10:59 AM Sep 2nd from web
  16. @Geophys_Chris One could be: The flood takes fine sediment and pushes it farther inland... #gschat1 10:57 AM Sep 2nd from web in reply to Geophys_Chris
  17. Got more questions? We're anxious to answer! #gschat1 10:49 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic
  18. and maintain estuarine health for fisheries behind the island. #gschat1 10:45 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic

  20. During Katrina, the Chandeleur Islands in LA lost 85% of their surface area. #gschat1 10:41 AM Sep 2nd from Seesmic
