Net widening of Southern California beaches [PDF]
Human impacts from dams reduce river sediment fluxes and are primary causes of coastal erosion worldwide. Here we provide new satellite-derived shoreline observation techniques to examine beach area trends across the diverse coastal settings of ...

Field Measurements of Longshore Sediment Transport along Denu Beach, Volta Region, Ghana
Field measurements of longshore sediment transport have been performed in the surf zone along Denu Beach, located in the Volta Region of Ghana, West Africa. This study consisted of measuring sediment transport rates by the deployment of modified versions

Climate controls on longshore sediment transport [PDF]
Abstract Subtle changes in the directional wave climate driven by changes in large scale climate variability have the potential to result in spatial changes (erosion and accretion) of sandy coastlines due to deviations in longshore sediment transport supply.

Artificial Nourishments Effects on Longshore Sediments Transport
Serious erosion problems related to significant negative sediments budgets in the coastal systems are referred worldwide. Artificial nourishments are a coastal erosion mitigation strategy that allow for a decrease in those negative budgets by adding ...

Analysis of Dynamic Changes in Sedimentation in the Coastal Area of Amir-Abad Port Using High-Resolution Satellite Images [PDF]
Sediment transport and shoreline changes causing shoreline morphodynamic evolution are key indicators of a coastal structure’s operational continuity. To reduce the computational costs associated with sediment transport modelling tools, a novel procedure

Estimation of Longshore Sediment Transport Using Video Monitoring Shoreline Data
Video monitoring systems (VMS) have been used for beach status observation but are not effective for examining detailed beach processes as they only measure changes to the shoreline and backshore.

Application of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System to Estimate Alongshore Sediment Transport Rate (A Real Case Study: Southern Shorelines of Caspian Sea) [PDF]
Many empirical models have been introduced by scientists during the recent decades for estimating longshore sediment transport rate, but these approaches have been calibrated and applied under limited conditions of the bed profile and specific range of ...
