The morphological characteristics of two cuspate forelands were investigated. Then, a model for predicting the development of a cuspate foreland was proposed for waves incident from two opposite directions using the BG model. It was found that a symmetric cuspate foreland is formed when waves are...
La Pelosa beach can be identified as a cuspate foreland (Zenkovich, 1964) and is very low-indented. The emerging portion of the beach, subject to substantial variation in morphology and size even in the short and very short period, has a slope not higher than 2–3°. Show abstract What...
Then, a model for pre-dicting the development of a cuspate foreland was proposed for waves incident from two opposite direc-tions using the BG model. It was found that a symmetric cuspate foreland is formed when waves are incident with the same probability of occurrence, whereas an ...
Lakeshore changes associated with the extension of an offshore breakwater in a lake were investigated, taking the Torigasaki cuspate foreland located on the south shore of Lake Shinji as an example. After the construction of an offshore breakwater to form a wave-shelter zone, a cuspate ...
It was found that a cuspate foreland elongates toward the lee of the island owing to the wave-sheltering effect of an island. The formation of a land-tied island when five islands and two sand sources are located on opposite shores was also predicted using the BG model.Takaaki Uda...
Lakeshore changes associated with the extension of an offshore breakwater in a lake were investigated, taking the Torigasaki cuspate foreland located on the south shore of Lake Shinji as an example. After the construction of an offshore breakwater to form a wave-shelter zone, a cuspate ...
Kilometric-scale shoreline sand waves (KSSW) have been observed in the north-east flank of the Dungeness Cuspate Foreland (southeastern coast of the UK). They consist of two bumps separated by embayments with a 350鈥 450-m spacing. We have analysed 36 shoreline surveys of 2-km length ...
The formation of a sand spit elongating on a flat shallow seabed and a cuspate foreland on a steep slope on coasts where the direction of the coastline suddenly changes was investigated using an improved BG model proposed by Serizawa et al. (2009a). The calculated results were validated by ...
The development of a cuspate foreland on a coast with abrupt change in coastline orientation was investigated by a movable bed experiment using a wave basin. After 8-hour wave action, a groin was installed at the cuspate foreland and the effect of obstructing continuous longshore sand transport...
Macrofossil studies and AMS 14C dating of the lateglacial and Holocene units reveal that the Mittelgrund shoal of glacial origin has been modified by coastal processes and formation of cuspate foreland deposits during the subsequent palaeo-lake phases of 15鈥 20 m below the present sea level ...
