Observations of wave run-up affected by dune scarp during storm conditions: a two dimensional large-scaled movable bed experiment

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Artificial dunes serve as essential nature-based defenses against the increasing threats posed by climate change and rising sea levels along coastal regions. However, these man-made dunes are particularly susceptible to erosion during severe storm events,
