SANDY BEACH PROFILE EVOLUTION

Malaysian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
Erosion and accretion of beach profile mostly occur on surf and swash zone. Beach profile evolution is affected by tide, wave, beach material and slope. However, rainfall and groundwater level may also affect the profile changes. Low groundwater level during dry season enhances infiltration of seawater into the beach hence increase the potential for ...

Human Impacts over Sandy Beaches

2021
The interaction of humans with coastal zones, as with many natural environments, does not usually develop with proper management in order to preserve their natural components. This situation is particularly exacerbated on sandy beach areas as they are sites chosen by many people to live or spend some time.

Anaerobiosis in Marine Sandy Beaches

Science, 1960
Organisms living at depths greater than 5 to 10 cm in marine beaches composed of fine sand are completely anaerobic whenever their particular section of beach is covered by water. Anaerobic conditions are continuous if the slope of the beach is slight enough so that capillary forces keep the sand saturated with water even at low tide.

Sandy beaches as hotspots of bisphenol A

Environmental Research, 2020
Bisphenol A (BPA) poses a serious environmental threat and health concern. This study presents the global monitoring of BPA on oceanic sandy beaches. According to monitoring results, many beach sands contain a harmful concentrations of BPA. Likewise, styrene oligomers (SOs), anthropogenic chemicals derived from polystyrene plastics, show similar ...

Suspension Feeders on Sandy Beaches

2001
Sandy beaches are the most common coastal habitat on temperate and tropical coasts; comprising about 75 % of the world’s coastal zone (Bascom 1980). Exposed sandy beaches support a diverse and abundant macroinfauna (Brown and McLachlan 1990). In terms of species richness, sandy beach macroinfauna is dominated by crustaceans, bivalves and polychaetes ...

Physical Variability of Sandy Beaches

1983
This paper examines sandy beach types that exist in wave environments ranging from low ( 2.5m). Three basic beach types — reflective, intermediate and dissipative, composed of six beach states have been identified. Each beach state can be classified by its wave-sediment characteristics.
