Coastal vegetated shingle is a rare and declining resource worldwide but is found extensively around the UK coastline. Shingle sediments b-axes range between 2 mm and 200 mm and occur as fringing beaches, bars, spits, barrier islands and forelands. Sediment patterns are dependent upon accretion ...
Evidence for Late Pleistocene and Holocene sea-level, neotectonic and climate control in the coastal zone of northwest Portugal where the coastal segments consist of estuaries, sandy and shingle beaches with rocky outcrops, and Holocene dune systems (foredunes and some migrating dun... HM Granja...
(1) The distinctive pattern of vegetated shingle ridges and bare intervening hollows on the beaches at Dungeness and Orfordness relates closely to the distribution of fine (≤ 10 mm) and coarse (> 10 mm) pebbles. (2) Glasshouse experiments showed that in coarse shingle seeds are often lost ...
Models dealing with sand beaches already exist and are used extensively at the Hydraulics Research Station to predict chancres in coastline evaluation brought about by construction of harbour arms, artificial headlands, etc. Our view is that a relatively simple model is also needed which will allow...
Shingle beaches data Several field investigations on LT at shingle beaches have been conducted along the UK coastline. In the present paper two field data sets have been adopted: Shoreham-by-Sea (Chadwick, 1989) measured by traps and Hurst Castle Spit (Nicholls and Wright, 1991) measured by ...

Shingle and mixed sand / shingle beaches are widespread in many parts of the UK and Europe. These beaches are highly efficient and practical forms of coastal protection, however a shingle beach in common with any other type of beach, can suffer erosion and subsequent landward retreat of the ...
Field Monitoring of Shingle Beaches at Shoreham and Elmer, West Sussex The distribution and rates of transport under different sea states were investigated, but no predictive techniques have yet evolved. The analysis of shingle ... N Cooper,M Workman,TC Coates - 《Hr Wallingford》 被引量: 6发...
