Abstract

Historically, research on coastal processes has largely been concentrated on oceanic environments which have much in common with the Great Lakes but also differ in significant ways. This is particularly true with respect to substantial and lasting water level fluctuations that occur on seasonal and decadal time scales that differ temporally from shorter term tidal fluctuations and greatly exceed long-term oceanic sea level rise. Since the late 1990s, the Great Lakes basin has experienced record-breaking high and low water levels as well as more frequent and intense storms. This combination of factors has led to changes to these nearshore environments and stimulated new and exciting coastal research characterizing and quantifying these changes and offering new insights into Great Lakes coastal processes. Studies in this special section address these unique coastal landscapes shaped by both natural forces (e.g., ice dynamics, waves, and fluctuating lake levels) and human influences (armoring, coastal structures, sediment nourishment, and policy interventions). The findings shared in this collection provide actionable knowledge for anticipating change, mitigating risk, and building long-term resilience while calling for adaptive management frameworks to foster proactive, equitable stewardship of the Great Lakes shorelines.
动态海岸,弹性的未来:在五大湖导航变化-前言特别部分
从历史上看,对沿海过程的研究主要集中在海洋环境上,这些环境与五大湖有许多共同之处,但也有重要的不同之处。在季节性和年代际时间尺度上发生的大幅度和持久的水位波动尤其如此,这种波动在时间上不同于短期潮汐波动,并大大超过长期的海洋海平面上升。自20世纪90年代末以来,五大湖盆地经历了破纪录的高低水位,以及更频繁和更强烈的风暴。这些因素的结合导致了这些近岸环境的变化,并刺激了新的和令人兴奋的沿海研究,这些研究描述和量化了这些变化,并为五大湖的沿海过程提供了新的见解。本专题部分的研究涉及由自然力量(如冰动力、波浪和湖泊水位波动)和人类影响(盔甲、海岸结构、沉积物营养和政策干预)共同塑造的这些独特的沿海景观。本报告中分享的研究结果为预测变化、降低风险和建立长期韧性提供了可操作的知识,同时呼吁建立适应性管理框架,以促进对五大湖海岸线的积极、公平的管理。

期刊介绍: Published six times per year, the Journal of Great Lakes Research is multidisciplinary in its coverage, publishing manuscripts on a wide range of theoretical and applied topics in the natural science fields of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, as well as social sciences of the large lakes of the world and their watersheds. Large lakes generally are considered as those lakes which have a mean surface area of >500 km2 (see Herdendorf, C.E. 1982. Large lakes of the world. J. Great Lakes Res. 8:379-412, for examples), although smaller lakes may be considered, especially if they are very deep. We also welcome contributions on saline lakes and research on estuarine waters where the results have application to large lakes.
