Storm-induced sediment supply to coastal dunes on sand flats [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 Abstract. Growth of coastal dunes requires a marine supply of sediment. Processes that control the sediment transfer between the subtidal and the supratidal zone are not fully understood, especially in sand flats close to inlets. It is hypothesised that storm surge events induce sediment deposition on sand flats, providing fresh material for aeolian ...

COASTAL SAND DUNES OF TANEGASHIMA ISLAND
Geographical Review of Japan, 1971 On the Tanegashima Island, to the southwest of Japan, marine terraces are widely deve-loped and formations of coastal dunes also are extensively noticed on all the periphery of the island. Aeolian sands of this island are classified into several groups from the view point of stratigraphic feature in the deposits.

, 2022 Abstract The need for construction sand needs to increase due to the increase in population. The use of dunes and coastal sand disfigures shorelines and the consequences are alarming. It is therefore necessary to consider replacing these resources with other more ecological ones. Hence the purpose of this article.

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.
