Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Beach width is an important factor for tourists’ comfort, and the backshore is a swash zone where sediment moves quickly. Artificial sandy beaches focus on beach width stability and evolution.

Citizen science for monitoring seasonal-scale beach erosion and behaviour with aerial drones. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Sandy beaches are highly dynamic systems which provide natural protection from the impact of waves to coastal communities. With coastal erosion hazards predicted to increase globally, data to inform decision making on erosion mitigation and adaptation ...

Assessment of potential beach erosion risk and impact of coastal zone development: a case study on Bongpo–Cheonjin Beach [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 In many parts, coastal erosion is severe due to human-induced coastal zone development and storm impacts, in addition to climate change. In this study, the beach erosion risk was defined, followed by a quantitative assessment of potential beach erosion ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Beach erosion is a complex process influenced by multiple factors operating at different spatial scales. Local (e.g., waves, tides, grain size, beach width and coastal development) and regional (e.g., sea level rise and mean sea level pressure) factors ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Nest beach selection by sea turtles at a regional scale may depend on upper shore environmental cues. Thus, the variability of sandy beach conditions, including coastal erosion rates and urban development can affect their nesting ecology.

Cascading geomorphic hazards triggered by fluvial floods in an anthropogenically-impacted beach [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBeach erosion represents a major hazard to coastal regions worldwide, yet the role of fluvial floods remains an understudied component of beach dynamics.

Role of Storm Erosion Potential and Beach Morphology in Controlling Dune Erosion
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Coastal erosion is controlled by two sets of factors, one related to storm intensity and the other related to a location’s vulnerability. This study investigated the role of each set in controlling dune erosion based on data compiled for eighteen ...

Assessment of and Adaptation to Beach Erosion in Islands: An Integrated Approach
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Island beaches, which form significant natural and economic resources, are under increasing erosion risk due to sea level rise. The present contribution proposes an integrated methodological framework for the evaluation of the socio-economic significance

Extreme storm impact and recovery on a natural beach-foredune system: The June 2016 storm at Bengello Beach, southeastern Australia [PDF]
Cambridge Prisms: Coastal FuturesThe June 2016 extratropical cyclone with anomalous ENE storm wave direction caused widespread beach-foredune erosion in southeastern Australia. At Bengello Beach, erosion volumes were 97–108 m3/m for the central and southern parts of the beach, while the
