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.

Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate
Coasts are vulnerable to changing environmental conditions and are likely to be affected by predicted sea level rise and wave climate variations over the next century. Predicting the likely response of coastal systems to these changes, including altering

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary
ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Non‐Linear Morphodynamic Response of Deltas to Extreme Events
Abstract Deltas, the interface between riverine and coastal systems, host ∼500 million people and function as crucial ecological nexuses. The magnitude and frequency of extreme floods are projected to intensify as climate changes, yet the potential impacts on delta morphodynamics remain poorly understood.

Hydrodynamics and morphodynamics in the swash zone: hydralab III large-scale experiments
The modelling of swash zone hydrodynamics and sediment transport and the resulting morphodynamics has been an area of very active research over the last decade. However, many details are still to be understood, whose knowledge will be greatly advanced by

Waterline responses to climate forcing along the North American West Coast
Understanding waterline variability at seasonal to interannual timescales is crucial for predicting coastal responses to climate forcing. However, relationships between large-scale climate variability and coastal morphodynamics remain underexplored ...

Abstract Alluvial rivers adjust their geometry to convey water and sediment downstream. While multi‐river compilations reveal robust downstream scaling relationships, how these patterns manifest along a single river remains poorly constrained. We quantify the coevolution of bankfull width, depth, channel slope, and grain size along 166 km of California'

Coastal foredune blowout is a significant indicator of shoreline retreat, activation of backshore dune fields, and land desertification. Among current research on the terminal phase of coastal foredune blowouts, few studies explain blowouts&rsquo ...
