Evidence of Coastal Changes in the West Coast of Naxos Island, Cyclades, Greece
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Coastal lagoons and dunes are of great ecological importance, not only for providing habitats for rare flora and fauna, but also for protecting coastal areas from rising sea levels and storms, etc.

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 ...

The role of the reef–dune system in coastal protection in Puerto Morelos (Mexico) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Reefs and sand dunes are critical morphological features providing natural coastal protection. Reefs dissipate around 90 % of the incident wave energy through wave breaking, whereas sand dunes provide the final natural barrier against coastal flooding.

Biomorphogenic Feedbacks and the Spatial Organization of a Dominant Grass Steer Dune Development
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Nature-based solutions to mitigate the impact of future climate change depend on restoring biological diversity and natural processes. Coastal foredunes represent the most important natural flood barriers along coastlines worldwide, but their area has ...

Minimal size of a barchan dune
, 2007 Barchans are dunes of high mobility which have a crescent shape and propagate under conditions of unidirectional wind. However, sand dunes only appear above a critical size, which scales with the saturation distance of the sand flux [P. Hersen, S. Douady,

Modelling formation and evolution of transverse dune fields
, 2006 We model formation and evolution of transverse dune fields. In the model, only the cross section of the dune is simulated. The only physical variable of relevance is the dune height, from which the dune width and velocity are determined, as well as ...
