A comprehensive approach to evaluate coastal dune evolution in Haiyang, China

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coastal dunes record the evolutionary process of coastal dynamic geomorphological systems, and provide valuable information on climate change, sea level changes, environmental evolution. These dunes are essential for global change research.

Process-based modeling of coastal dune development [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, the aeolian transport model DUNE (Sauermann et al., 2001, Kroy et al., 2002) that describes important features and dynamics of typical desert dunes, is extended such that it can be applied in sandy coastal areas.

Morphological Response of Coastal Dunes to Typhoons and Winter Monsoons on Pingtan Island, China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Wind plays a crucial role in the formation of coastal dunes, and in China, these dunes are shaped by the combined effects of typhoons and winter monsoons. However, the unique characteristics of Chinese coastal dunes impacted by these forces remain poorly

Political Corruption, Foreign Investment and Industrial Environmental Performance: Developing Countries' Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The debate on the environmental impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) continues to evolve; however, it is widely shown that FDI worsens environmental pollution in developing countries due to their institutional deficiencies. Currently, there is limited evidence on the synergistic effect of political corruption, which is corruption across ...

Sustainable management of coastal sand dunes to human activities and natural disasters in Oregon, the United States

, 2022
Dune destabilization became a socio-economic issue as Euro-Americans settled in Oregon in the 19th century. Non-native Ammophila arenaria and Ammophila breviligulata were widely used for stabilization from the early-20th century.
