Abstract The erosion-prone zone is characterised by nearshore sand formed the combined action of tides, wind, and recurring waves crashing on beach. By running perpendicular to coastline bathymetry, 51 cross-shore sections were chosen from a total 54 study longshore transport along beaches Kelantan Terengganu. hydrodynamic model was used determine water level, current speed, spectral density, w...

[1] Field observations of swash flow patterns and morphology change are consistent with the hypothesis that beach cusps form by self-organization, wherein positive feedback between swash flow and developing morphology causes initial development of the pattern and negative feedback owing to circulation of flow within beach cusp bays causes pattern stabilization. The self-organization hypothesis ...

As a socially, culturally and sexually constructed space, the nude beach has been the focus of academic research. Some studies have analysed the nude beach as a place where erotic relations and meanings among men are performed, constructed, negotiated and transformed. Th ese studies however have seldom acknowledged the multiple dimensions of sexualised practices and subjectivities taking place ...

The decision-aiding procedure developed by Beach and his colleagues for birth planning is reviewed. It is shown that the models underlying the Beach procedure have some unusual and problematic formal consequences. Contrary to the claims of Beach et al., the procedure cannot rely on a simple interpretation of standard utility theory for its justification. It is noted that, despite its formal dif...

Coastal erosion is a major concern and threat to the coastal habitats, livelihood socio-economic developments. The aims of present research are investigate beach dynamics, status, protection measures world famous nesting habitat near Rushikulya estuary, south Odisha coast, India. Shoreline mapping rate changes for period 8 years (2005–2013) on each side inlet, 3-year profile study at six transe...

Artificial reefs have proven to be an optimal and effective solution in stabilizing coastlines around the world. They are submerged structures that imitate protection service provided by natural accomplishing functions of dissipating wave energy protecting beach morphology, but also being ecological solution. In this paper, 2D small-scale experiments were performed analyze hydrodynamic, morphol...

This work presents the results of an investigation on how wave overtopping at a near-vertical seawall back sandy foreshore is influenced by sequences erosive storms. The experiments were carried out in Large Wave Flume (GWK) Leibniz University, Hannover (Germany). tested layout consisted 10/1 and with initial 1/15 slope. Three idealised storms simulated. Within each storm both incident conditio...

This study aims to determine the concentrations of total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli) in beach water, Teluk Kemang beach. This study was also aimed to determine relationship between total coliforms, E. coli and physicochemical parameters. As perceived health symptoms among beach visitors are rarely incorporated in beach water studies, this element was also assessed in this study. A ...

The chronicles of nearshore morphology and surficial beach deposits provide valuable information about the nature of the beach condition and the depositional environment. It imparts an understanding about the spatial and temporal relationship of nearshore waves and its influence over the distribution of beach sediments. This article contains data about wave and sediment dynamics of the ten sand...
