Storm-induced sediment supply to coastal dunes on sand flats [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics, 2020
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.

The biology of coastal sand dunes [PDF]

Ann Bot, 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

Remote 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 ...

The Encroaching Dunes of the Portuguese Coast

Journal for the History of Environment and Society, 2022
Late Holocene dunes migration is intricately linked to climate change and anthropogenic actions. Along the Portuguese coast, large-scale sand drifts occurred between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, sometimes associated with the Little Ice Age ...

Warmer Temperature and Spatiotemporal Dynamics during Primary Succession on Tropical Coastal Dunes

Plants, 2022
Coastal dunes are sensitive indicators of climate change: it is expected that higher precipitation and warmer temperature will promote vegetation growth and sand stabilization.

‘This restless enemy of all fertility’: exploring paradigms of coastal dune management in Western Europe over the last 700 years [PDF]

, 2015
Drifting sand has inundated settlements and damaged agricultural land along the coasts of Western Europe for the last 700 years. The need to control sand migration has been an important driver of the management of coastal sand dunes and here we analyse ...

Fine dust emissions from active sands at coastal Oceano Dunes, California [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
Sand dunes and other active sands generally have a low content of fine grains and, therefore, are not considered to be major dust sources in current climate models.
