Human–coastal coupled systems: Ten questions
Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures, 2023 Given the inevitability of sea-level rise, investigating processes of human-altered coastlines at the intermediate timescales of years to decades can sometimes feel like an exercise in futility.

Sand Net Device to Control the Meanders of a Coastal River: The Case of the Authie Estuary (France)
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The Authie estuary is characterized by an important southern sand spit and a northern shoreline subject to strong erosion due to the meandering of the coastal river. In order to reduce this erosion, a new soft coastal defence, namely the sand net device (

Imaging permafrost active layer thickness under forest for climate model improvement
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023 Permafrost is an important but poorly known carbon reservoir which is vulnerable to the high latitude accelerated warming. The projected thickening of its superficial seasonally thawed active layer and its induced spatial reorganization will hasten ...

Paleogeographic numerical modeling of marginal seas for the Holocene – an exemplary study of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsThe sustainable management of marginal seas is based on a thorough understanding of their evolutionary trends in the past. The paleogeographic evolution of marginal seas is controlled not only by global and regional driving forces (eustatic sea-level ...

Morphological response of vegetated and urbanized barrier islands to Hurricane Ian [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesBarrier islands are vulnerable to extreme storm events which cause erosion and deposition of sediment. These morphological changes pose risks to both the built environment and natural habitats but are also affected by them.

Shoreline Dynamics and Beach Erosion
Geosciences, 2023 Coasts are highly dynamic and geomorphologic complex systems that evolve under the increasing pressure of climate change and anthropogenic activities, having direct or indirect impacts on the coastal environment.

The role of morphodynamics in predicting coastal flooding from storms on a dissipative beach with sea level rise conditions [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 We investigate the role of morphodynamic changes in the flooding of a micro-tidal dissipative beach for both current and sea level rise scenarios. By considering beach morphodynamics and flood processes associated with highly energetic waves, the study ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 We report extraordinary seabed erosion that occurred at a depth of ~8.3 m at Hujeong Beach, South Korea. The seabed was eroded for 0.7 m during a ~2.3‐day period under storm conditions. The maximum significant wave height was ~3.8 m, which was unexpected

Video Monitoring of Shoreline Positions in Hujeong Beach, Korea
Applied Sciences, 2019 Shoreline processes observed by a video monitoring system were investigated under different wave conditions. A 30 m-high tower equipped with video cameras was constructed in Hujeong Beach, South Korea, where coastal erosion was suspected to occur.

Influence of hydrometeorological hazards and sea coast morphodynamics on development of Cephalanthero rubrae-Fagetum (Wolin island, the southern Baltic Sea) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Climate changes, sea transgression and sea coast erosion observed today cause dynamic changes in coastal ecosystems. In the elaboration, cause and effect interrelations between abiotic hazards (hydrometeorological conditions and sea coast ...
