Nestedness patterns and the role of morphodynamics and spatial distance on sandy beach fauna: ecological hypotheses and conservation strategies [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Sandy beach fauna is hypothesized to be mainly structured by environmental variables. As such, it is expected that morphodynamic characteristics are limiting factors, and the species pool inhabiting harsher reflective beaches would be a subset of (i.e ...

Decomposition of sediment-oil-agglomerates in a Gulf of Mexico sandy beach [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Sediment-oil-agglomerates (SOA) are one of the most common forms of contamination impacting shores after a major oil spill; and following the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) accident, large numbers of SOAs were buried in the sandy beaches of the northeastern ...

Diet of a threatened endemic fox reveals variation in sandy beach resource use on California Channel Islands [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The coastal zone provides foraging opportunities for insular populations of terrestrial mammals, allowing for expanded habitat use, increased dietary breadth, and locally higher population densities.

Beach Nourishment as an Adaptation to Future Sandy Beach Loss Owing to Sea-Level Rise in Thailand
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 A recent study suggested that significant beach loss may take place on the coasts of Thailand by the end of the 21st century as per projections of sea-level rise by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Evidence of coastal landforms and age determination related to the sealevel change at Nakhon Si Thammarat province in southern Thailand [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2023 We present evidence of sea-level changes over the past 15,000 years from dating sandy beach sediments in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. First, we classified various types of coastal landforms from satellite images.

Response of natural, modified and artificial sandy beaches to sea-level rise
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2022 Sandy beaches occur in a wide variety of environmental settings and as components of a diverse range of coastal system types. These variations among beaches lead to significant differences in their mesoscale (multi-decadal, km length scale) behaviour ...
