DUNEX (DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment) Storm research

A collaborative community experiment

 DUNEX is a multi-agency, -academic and -stakeholder collaborative community experiment to study nearshore processes during coastal storms. The multi-phase field experiment, taking place on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, began with a Fall 2019 pilot study, and is now being followed by the full experiment, with most activities taking place Fall 2021 through Winter 2022. Check out the DUNEX Pilot Story Map to learn more about specific research underway while also viewing selected photos in the  DUNEX Photo Gallery. The DUNEX Fact Sheet also provides more general experiment goals and plans.

Goal

By collaborating and leveraging research efforts from different groups to collect and analyze data from the same region prior to, during, and following coastal storms, DUNEX aims to improve the basic understanding, predictive capabilities, and observational technologies for extreme storm processes and impacts within the coastal environment

Benefits

In addition to advancing the science, DUNEX will foster coastal community collaboration. By improving communication between scientists and the coastal community at large, DUNEX will facilitate the translation of scientific research into its use and application.
