Spatial distribution of sand dunes along the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast: inventory, UAS mapping and new discoveries [PDF]

open access: yesNature Conservation, 2023
Coastal sand dunes are amongst the world’s most sensitive and dynamic landforms. Unfortunately, during the last thirty years, heavy anthropogenic alterations have been observed, encompassing the greater part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (BBSC), which

Improving vegetation spatial distribution mapping in arid and on coastal dune systems using GPR in Tottori Prefecture (Japan)

open access: yesActa Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2023
In this article, desertification and dune progression over vegetation was quantified using remote sensing data. However, vegetation buried under sand blowout could not be counted using this method.

The biology of coastal sand dunes [PDF]

open access: yesChoice Reviews Online, 2009
Coastal zones are becoming increasingly topical (and politically sensitive) as they face relentless pressures from urban expansion, recreational development and sea level rise due to climate change. This timely book provides a comprehensive introduction to the formation, dynamics, maintenance and perpetuation of coastal sand dune systems.

Monitoring the Dynamics of Formby Sand Dunes Using Airborne LiDAR DTMs

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Coastal dunes play an important role in coastal erosion risk management, where they act as a dynamic natural sea defence line. Formby coast is part of the Sefton coast in the Northwest of England and is one of the largest and most rapidly evolving sand ...

A Nature-Based Solution for Coastal Protection: Wind Tunnel Investigations on the Influence of Sand-Trapping Fences on Sediment Accretion

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
Sand-trapping fences are a frequently used nature-based solution in coastal protection for initiating and facilitating coastal dune toe growth. However, only a few researchers have evaluated the trap efficiency of sand-trapping fences based on their ...
