Understanding the interactions between dune systems and beaches is critical to determining short-term shoreline response long-term resilience. In this study, almost 15 years of monthly beach/dune measurements were analyzed for three different profiles at Vougot Beach, France understand predict changes from intra-annual multi-annual time-scales. Four migration modes: advance/retreat (translation m...

Beach rock has only rarely been observed in the coasts. It is a hard costal sedimentary formations consisting of various beach sediments, lithified through the precipitation of carbonate cements. One such formation is noted on the South East Coast of Tamilnadu, India. The objective of this contribution is to collect and review information on reported occurrences, characteristics and formation m...

Coastal visits not only provide psychological benefits but can also contribute to the accumulation of rubbish. Volunteer beach cleans help address this issue, but may only have limited, local impact. Consequently, it is important to study any broader benefits associated with beach cleans. This article examines the well-being and educational value of beach cleans, as well as their impacts on ind...

Sediment deprivation from dam installments contributes to beach erosion yet the underlying physical and economic factors linking them together have traditionally been isolated during regional planning. In order to gain a better understanding of the behavior of a managed beach system, a dynamic simulation model was developed incorporating physical and monetary factors influencing the amount of a...

Mass sand nourishment is recognized as a means of restoring beach amenity and one that possibly offers long-term protection from further shoreline loss inundation adjacent urban areas. While large scale has been used elsewhere, examples in NSW are extremely limited. Model results, based on an actual profile, suggest alone provides little reduction to rates therefore risks.

Solid wastes are commonly found on Malaysian beaches as any other parts of the world. Generally known as beach debris, this particular type of waste is treated similar to other municipal waste in Malaysia where 95% of it will be disposed off into landfills. Studies were conducted on four beaches in Peninsular Malaysia namely Teluk Kemang, Pasir Panjang, Batu Burok, and Seberang Takir. The objec...

In this paper, a hydraulic model experiment was conducted to investigate the mechanism of longshore sediment transport on sloping beach 1:7 using circular wave tank equipped with spiral maker. The experimental results revealed that cross-shore predominant up formation equilibrium cross-section. Then actively dominant near bar after development topography. wave-breaking positions and characteris...
