COASTAL DUNES: A STUDY OF THE DUNES AT VERA CRUZ
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1957 Coastal dunes are formed when winds gather the dry sands from beaches and carry it inland. The repeated scouring of surface sand and its deposit in other areas does more to shape the diverse hillocks and depressions characteristic of certain coastal areas than any other physical factor. For fifty years we have been battling the sand dunes at Vera Cruz.

Techniques for GIS modeling of coastal dunes
Geomorphology, 2002 Coastal dunes present a unique problem to coastal scientists because of the dynamic nature of most coastal dune systems. Coastal dunes can change shape quickly and frequently due to storm-generated winds and waves. Prevailing winds can transport significant amounts of sand throughout the dune system.
