Coastal dunes occur along the majority of coastlines worldwide, often as parts of barrier islands, and are one of the most dynamic areas on earth. Sufficient supply of sand and strong onshore winds create a dynamic topography of building dunes near the shoreline and often a system of older dunes and troughs further inland.

Coastal dunes constitute plastic systems with a recognized ecological, geomorphological, geological, historical, archaeological, scenic, cultural, and socio-economic value. Furthermore, coastal dunes play a relevant protective barrier role, preventing groundwater salinization due to intrusion of sea water and preserving other natural areas and human ...

Dune slack restoration in Dutch mainland coastal dunes
Journal for Nature Conservation, 2008Summary The 45,000 ha Dutch dunes are relatively well protected but they suffer from severe desiccation. During the last decade a lot of knowledge has been obtained about the steering processes of eco-hydrology in dunes resulting in well-founded schemes to restore wet dune slack communities.

Coastal dunes with resistant cores
Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2018Hybrid shore protection projects combine hard structures with beaches, sand dunes and vegetation, mimicking the appearance and function of natural landforms. These advantages can also accrue to structures built as primary protection that eventually become covered by sand following natural accretion, artificial nourishment or burial by earth-moving ...

The evolution of coastal sand dunes
Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1972Abstract : Approximately 20 per cent of the coastline of the Highlands (Land lying West and North of the Highland Boundary Fault) excluding islands, is fringed by sand accumulations in the form of dunes, links or machair. Except where sea walls and promenades protect their seaward edge, dunes are intimately linked to beaches, the margin between dune ...

The distinguishing feature of coastal dunes is their connection to the shore. This maritime influence results in most coastal dunefields exhibiting a marked shore-normal gradient of decreasing physical stress and increasing complexity and vegetation cover landwards.

Coastal Dune Vulnerability Assessment of Caota dunes, Taiwan
A total of 52 variables, organized into six groups, were assessed and categorized into a locally adapted coastal dune vulnerability index. This study took into consideration socio-ecological aspects and incorporated local factors into the vulnerability index, along with adaptation strategies.Viola van Onselen, Tsung-Yi Lin
