ABSTRACT Mixed beaches containing anthropogenic geomaterials such as bricks, concrete, glass, ceramics, tarmac and slag are globally understudied. These materials enter natural beach systems through erosion or dumping, and rising sea levels and increased storminess are expected to intensify coastal erosion, reworking and re‐exposing previously dumped ...

Revealing the Formation and Control of NYC Downwind Coastal High Ozone via New TEMPO Observations
Abstract Extreme ozone events along Long Island's south shore—a key downwind region of New York City—remain poorly understood due to limited spatial observations. We show that the new geostationary TEMPO satellite enables hourly tracking of urban plume transport, dispersion, and ozone formation across complex coastal environments. Using TEMPO data, we (

Radar Estimates of Surfzone Dissipation Drive a Morphological Evolution Model
Abstract The dissipation of wave energy is important to nearshore circulation and beach profile evolution. Here, radar measurements of wave dissipation at the water surface across the surfzone are used to estimate water velocities and sediment transport in the lower water column to drive an energetics model for morphological change.

Abstract This study reveals different slip patterns of tsunami sources between two prehistoric giant earthquakes along the southern Kuril Trench, based on an integration of geological data and numerical simulations. The most recent giant earthquake occurred in the 17th century and its predecessor was in the 13th–14th century.

Ecological Impacts of Beach Grooming on Exposed Sandy Beaches
Because of the coast’s huge value, municipalities often choose to manicure their sandy beaches regularly, grooming them sometimes twice daily in high season. Conservationists and scientists have expressed concerns the practice could be harmful to birds and other wildlife species that reproduce and forage on the coast.
