Abstract:

The crowds that flock to the North Carolina Outer Banks each summer were met with something new this June: a newly formed island off Cape Point, Hatteras Island. Dubbed Shelly Island, the new spit of land is a testament to the complex and dynamic nature of the state's coastal geomorphology.
