Quantification of changes in the beach volume by the application of an inverse of the Bruun Rule and laser scanning technology; pp. 240–248 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2015 We address the possibilities of combining terrestrial (TLS) and airborne laser scanning (ALS) techniques with the classical concept of equilibrium beach profile to quantify the changes in the total sand volume of slowly evolving sandy beaches.

Caribbean Beach-Face Slopes and Beach Equilibrium Profiles
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 Field measurements performed on two Caribbean islands revealed that two-dimensional nearshore bottom morphology is well represented by Dean's (1977) model of the beach equilibrium profile, h - A xm, where h is depth below mean water level at a distance x offshore and A is a scale factor.

Predicting Crenulate Bay Profiles from Wave Fronts: Numerical Experiments and Empirical Formulae
Geosciences, 2021 For crenulate-shaped bays, the coastal outline assumes a specific shape related to the predominant waves in the area: it generally consists of a tangential zone downcoast and a curved portion upcoast.

A Design Parameter for Reef Beach Profiles—A Methodology Applied to Cadiz, Spain
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The southwestern coast of Spain is in a tidal zone (mesotidal) which causes the equilibrium profile to be developed in two different sections: the breakage section and the swash section.

Some characteristic wave energy dissipation patterns along the Polish coast
Oceanologia, 2018 Summary: The paper analyses cross-shore bathymetric profiles between Władysławowo (km 125 of the national coastal chainage) and Lake Sarbsko (km 174) commissioned in 2005 and 2011 by coastal authorities for monitoring purposes. The profiles, spaced every

A Numerical Model for Offshore Mound Evolution
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 A numerical model was developed to simulate the evolution of a mound placed in the offshore (i.e., outside the zone of wave breaking), exposed to varying non-breaking waves and water levels.
