Influence of a rocky platform in the profile morphology: Victoria Beach, Cadiz (Spain)
Ciencias Marinas, 2002 The equilibrium profile concept is a useful tool for the knowledge and management of the coastline. This concept is based on several assumptions that rarely are satisfied in nature.

Study of sediment transport by tsunami waves:Ⅰ:Beach profile evolution
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2012 Tsunami has become one of the most serious marine disasters.The devastating tsunami waves can mobilize substantial amount of coastal sediment and change the coastal morphology considerably.2D laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the ...

Long-Term Observations of Beach Variability at Hasaki, Japan
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Long-term beach observation data for several decades are essential to validate beach morphodynamic models that are used to predict coastal responses to sea-level rise and wave climate changes.

Equilibrium beach profile on sandy beach of the Mehdya coast of Morocco [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 The world’s coastlines are shaped by mean sea level, wave conditions and storm surge. Climate change driven variations in these environmental forcing’s will inevitably have a profound effect on the coastal zone.

Nest site selection and hatching success of hawksbill and loggerhead sea turtles (Testudines, Cheloniidae) at Arembepe Beach, northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2009 Nest site selection influences the hatching success of sea turtles and represents a crucial aspect of their reproductive process. Arembepe Beach, in the State of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, is a known nest site for Caretta caretta and Eretmochelys ...

What can long-term in situ monitoring data tell us about our coastlines?
Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures, 2023 Long-term in situ monitoring of beach morphology is indispensable for capturing the processes of foreshore morphological changes, and thus many beach monitoring campaigns have been conducted globally. Here, we review the various foreshore beach processes

Study of Equilibrium Beach Profiles
Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 The use of the dimensionless fall velocity for determining equilibrium foreshore slopes, -modeling of natural beaches in the laboratory, and for determining shoreline erosion rates is examined. Encouraging results are found for relating foreshore slope uniquely to the dimensionless fall velocity and possible model law is proposed.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017 This research applied terrestrial LiDAR for laboratory beach evolution experiments to quantify the impact of resolution on topographic mapping and change analyses. The multi-site registration and multi-temporal scanning processes produced high accuracy (−

Shoreline response to sea-level rise according to equilibrium beach profiles
Scientific Reports, 2023 Shoreline position is a key parameter of a beach state, often used as a descriptor of the response of the system to changes in external forcing, such as sea-level rise.
