The sustainability of beach nourishments: A review of nourishment and environmental monitoring practice [PDF]
Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2021 Beach nourishments are a widely used method to mitigate erosion along flood-prone sandy shorelines. In contrast to hard coastal protection structures, nourishments are considered as soft engineering, although little is known about the cumulative, long-term environmental effects of both marine sediment extraction and nourishment activities.

APPLYING UAV AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO MONITOR THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES ALONG THE BEACH IN PENGHU ISLANDS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Penghu islands, in the southern Taiwan Strait, is a remnant of a middle-late Miocene basaltic shield volcano. We present a procedure to use UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to perform photogrammetry survey and monitoring analysis in beach evolution ...

MONITORING OF THE PALM BEACH ARTIFICIAL REEF
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023 Palm Beach is located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Infrastructure along Palm Beach is exposed to high coastal hazard risks. The City of Gold Coast (City) delivered the Palm Beach Shoreline Project (PBSP) in 2019, involving beach nourishment stabilised by an artificial reef, as a sustainable solution to coastal hazards threats and provide ...
