Quantification and implications of change in organic carbon bearing coastal dune cliffs: A multiscale analysis from the Northumberland coast, UK [PDF]

, 2015
Eroding coastlines composed of sequences of till, carbon rich peat and sand layers are characteristic of many formerly glaciated coastlines due to the interplay of relative land and sea levels.

A Process-Based Model for Arctic Coastal Erosion Driven by Thermodenudation and Thermoabrasion Combined and including Nearshore Morphodynamics

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Various models have recently been developed to describe Arctic coastal erosion. Current process-based models simulate multiple physical processes and combine them interactively to resemble the unique mechanism of Arctic coastal erosion. One limitation of

Coastal Typology: An Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Relationship between Socioeconomic Development and Shoreline Change

Land, 2020
Globally, coastal communities are impacted by hazards including storm events, rising water levels, and associated coastal erosion. These hazards destroy homes and infrastructure causing human and financial risks for communities.

Geologic Controls on Erosion Mechanism on the Alaska Beaufort Coast

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Two prominent arctic coastal erosion mechanisms affect the coastal bluffs along the North Slope of Alaska. These include the niche erosion/block collapse mechanism and the bluff face thaw/slump mechanism.

Cartographie prospective d’évolution du trait de côte et des risques de submersion dans le contexte du changement climatique : une méthode appliquée au littoral du nord de la France

VertigO, 2022
Because climate change will likely have major impacts in low-lying coastal areas, our ability for evaluating predictable consequences of coastal hazards in the future already represents a key issue in coastal risk reduction.

Runup of solitary waves on high strength steel mesh rock mattress revetments: Experiments and empirical equations

Results in Engineering
For the first time, we developed empirical equations for the runup of solitary waves on high-tensile strength steel mesh revetments. This innovative coastal protection system, known as the Tecco Cell (TC) revetment, consists of rock mattresses enclosed ...
