A Rational Method for the Design of Sand Dike/Dune Systems at Sheltered Sites; Wadden Sea Coast of Texel, The Netherlands

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
A rational method for the design of sand dike/dune systems at sheltered sites is presented, focussing on the cross-shore dimensions of the sand dike in relation to the local wave climate, tidal regime and available sandy materials.

The value of carbon sequestration and storage in coastal habitats [PDF]

, 2014
Coastal margin habitats are globally significant in terms of their capacity to sequester and store carbon, but their continuing decline, due to environmental change and human land use decisions, is reducing their capacity to provide this ecosystem ...

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]

, 2013
Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.

Caractérisation de la morphologie des massifs dunaires de la région Pays de la Loire (France) face au risque de submersion marine

VertigO, 2018
Especially in areas with high human and non-human stakes, coastal dunes may act as natural forms of coastal protection against coastal flooding. This justifies the importance of assessing their ability at protecting the low-lying areas.

Aeolian transport of cohesive sand [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The influence of moisture on wind-driven sand transport is particularly important in coastal environements. While moisture is generally low in desert sands, it significantly affects sand transport on beaches or in coastal dune dynamics.
