Hurricane Impact Research Geoscience Students Make No Run-of-the-Mill Beach Trip H ts not unusual for a group of college students to take advantage of a long weekend for a trip to the beach. But for a group of WCU geosciences majors, a recent trip to North Carolinas Outer Banks provided more than just an opportunity for rest and relaxation. Eleven Western students under the guidance of profes- sor Rob Young were spending time at the coast working on another r - research. Young, a nationally known hurricane researcher, received a $5,000 grant from the Public Entity Risk Institute to investigate changes to the Cape Lookout National Seashore caused by Hurricane Isabel. After a 500-mile trip by car from the mountains of Western North Carolina to the coast, Young and his group took an hour-long ferry ride to reach the uninhabited Core Bank Islands. There, students dug trenches and collected sediment samples, boring down through sand deposited by last Octobers storm to determine the impact of storm surge and overwash. Storm surge is the elevated water level associated with the passage of a hurricane, the so-called storm tide, and it can raise coastal water levels 20 feet or more above normal high tide, Young said. Storm surge in combination with hurricane- driven waves drives the process of overwash, which involves storm waters being driven on top of and across the barrier island during the hurricane. These two processes together provide the formidable one-two punch of oceanfront property damage during a hurricane. Through their work, Young and his students will evaluate existing maps used by state and federal agencies to determine which sections of coastline are at greatest risk during hurricane impact, and will offer recommendations on how planners and emergency managers should modify those maps. Young said it is his hope that the study - and similar research he has conducted over the years on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the insurance industry - will lead to what he calls more sensible coastline development strategies.

Were trying to see how the geology of the coastline plays a role in determining where the most property damage will be, he said. Were hoping to learn enough and come up with enough cold, hard facts to discourage people from building these expensive homes on the vulnerable portions of barrier islands. While on the island, the students slept in rustic cabins, cooking and bathing through solar- powered water heaters and appliances. In addition to having an interesting wilderness experience and a chance to participate in some significant scientific research, the students also will develop a paper for submission to a professional journal. Tt wasnt your run-of-the-mill beach trip, thats for sure, Young said.
