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...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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...
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 results of the calculation were validated by the experimental results by Uda and Yamamoto (1992). Their results showed that a slender sand spit extended along the boundary between the shallow sea bottom and offshore steep slope in Case 1, whereas a cuspate foreland was formed on the ...
