Coastal Landscape and Channel Evolution Affecting Critical Habitats at Cape Sable, Everglades National Park, Florida

Dr Wanless and Dr Vlaswinkel conducted a geologic and hydrologic analysis of Cape Sable that was completed in 2005. This report presents the results of their analysis, including the geologic and historical changes that have occurred on Cape Sable. The report describes the flow and sediment erosion-transport-deposition processes happening on Cape Sable today. The roles of human changes, sea level rise, and hurricane events in driving the evolution of Cape Sable historically, today, and in the future is examined.
