Stick, David

Abstract:

Stick details how the famous sand dunes of Dare County were formed through the movement of drifting sand that settled against the former coastal woods. It has been discovered that these dunes also roamed, shifting down the Banks by winds and tides, while current experiments with Bermuda grass are attempting to anchor the moving sands.
