Optimising Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Using Optical Imagery over the Adelaide Metropolitan Coast

Remote Sensing
This study enhances the accuracy of optical satellite-derived bathymetric datasets in a shallow, mixed-bottom, low-wave-energy coastal environment by identifying the optimal combination of input satellite imagery, spectral bands, and empirical derivation

Topography and disturbance influence trait‐based composition and productivity of adjacent habitats in a coastal system

Ecosphere, 2020
Coastal systems experience frequent disturbance and multiple environmental stressors over short spatial and temporal scales. Investigating functional traits in coastal systems has the potential to inform how variation in disturbance frequency and ...

Observations and Preliminary Vulnerability Assessment of a Hybrid Dune-Based Living Shoreline

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
A novel hybrid (e.g., vegetation, sand, cobble, rip-rap) nature-based dune structure was constructed at Cardiff State Beach in Encinitas, California, to protect a critical transportation artery from undermining and frequent flooding.

Impacts of large scale climate modes on the current and future bimodal wave climate of a semi-protected shallow gulf

Frontiers in Marine Science
The bimodal wave climate of the semi-protected shallow Gulf St Vincent in South Australia has been analyzed through a forty-year (1980-2020) wave hindcast and an investigation into the climatic drivers of wave climate anomalies is presented.

Observations and Predictions of Wave Runup, Extreme Water Levels, and Medium-Term Dune Erosion during Storm Conditions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Monitoring of dune erosion and accretion on the high-energy macrotidal Vougot beach in North Brittany (France) over the past decade (2004–2014) has revealed significant morphological changes.

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of 2022–2023 River Murray Major Flood Sediment Plume

Remote Sensing
This study examined a sediment plume from Australia’s largest river, The River Murray, which was produced during a major flood event in 2022–2023. This flood resulted from successive La Niña events, causing high rainfall across the Murray–Darling Basin ...

Calculation of the Rub’ al Khali Sand Dune Volume for Estimating Potential Sand Sources

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Rub’ al Khali desert (or Empty Quarter) is the largest and perhaps most significant sand sea in the world. Located on the southern Arabian Peninsula, the dune field has remained largely unexplored owing to the harsh clime and difficult terrain.
