Beaches occur where there is sufficient sediment for wave deposition above water level along lakes, open ocean coasts, embayments, and estuaries. Beach nourishment most commonly takes place along marine beaches, which are among the most dynamic environments on earth. On a global scale, estimates o...
Peaks in the time profiles of each segment are identified and counted and the number of peaks ranges from 1 to 5. This exclusion decreases the count of single-peak segments from 603 to 274, while the number of segments with multiple peaks remains unchanged. Histograms of \({\text{T}}^{...
Effect of clonal expansion strategy on the sand-trapping capacity.a–cModel results showing the effect of the step size distribution (dispersed,μ ~ 1.5; Lévy,μ ~ 2; Brownian,μ ~ 3) on wind speed profiles for a clonal network consisting of 4000 shoots (N = 8, scale...
E, D, respectively. The time period considered is displayed between the profiles and the mean elevation change (MEC) histogram plots, which show the transect net beachface lowering (red) or
Comprehensive knowledge of beach processes is crucial to society because the majority of the world’s coastlines are eroding (Thornton et al.2000). Moreover,sea-level rise(q.v.) fromglobal warmingcould accelerate coastal land loss, resulting in an......
4.2. Beach Profiles The results of the grain size analysis are presented in Table A1 (Appendix A). In general, the subaerial part of all the beach sectors consists of mixed material (sand and gravel). Along the beach face, the material becomes coarser, as it is dominated by gravel materi...
The campaign-average profile, based on 26 individual profiles (no surveys were performed on 18 and 29 October), was monotonically sloping in the landward direction (Figure 4), with an approximately 1:50 intertidal slope. Additional topographic data were collected before (23 September) and after ...
