The evolution of coastal sand dunes

Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1972
Abstract : Approximately 20 per cent of the coastline of the Highlands (Land lying West and North of the Highland Boundary Fault) excluding islands, is fringed by sand accumulations in the form of dunes, links or machair. Except where sea walls and promenades protect their seaward edge, dunes are intimately linked to beaches, the margin between dune ...

Mechanism of Sand Movement on Coastal Dunes

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1966
Sand supplied to a coast by streams, cliff erosion, and other sources generally is moved in one direction along the shoreline as littoral drift under the action of the prevailing wave conditions in the area. When this drift encounters a partial obstruction, such as a prominent natural headland or a major engineering structure, a condition is realized ...

Coastal sand dunes as biological systems

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section B. Biological Sciences, 1989
SynopsisWith the gradation of intensities of environmental factors from the strand-line to stable inland areas, coastal dunes show many ecological phenomena especially clearly. These are reviewed broadly, with some emphasis on topics on which important advances are being made.

Shifting sands? Coastal protection by sand banks, beaches and dunes

Coastal Engineering, 2014
Abstract In a closely integrated system, (sub-) littoral sandy sediments, sandy beaches, and sand dunes offer natural coastal protection for a host of environmentally and economically important areas and activities inland. Flooding and coastal erosion pose a serious threat to these environments, a situation likely to be exacerbated by factors ...
