Field Observations of a Multilevel Beach Cusp System and Their Swash Zone Dynamics
Geosciences, 2021 This paper presents the observed morphological evolution of a multilevel beach cusp system in Long Strand, Co. Cork, Ireland. The surveys were carried out with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system between March and September 2019.

Wrack line formation and composition on shores of a large Alpine lake: The role of littoral topography and wave exposure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Wrack lines are a key formation along shorelines that provide organic matter and bring ecological diversity to the local environment. Although wrack line formation has been extensively studied along marine beaches and estuaries, in contrast, knowledge ...

Swash zone boundary conditions derived from optical remote sensing of swash zone flow patterns [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 Optical remote sensing is used to measure flow patterns in the swash zone. Timestack images are analyzed to measure the asymmetry and the relative duration of the inflow into the swash zone. This varies significantly between individual swashes, contrary to the classical analytical swash model for runup induced by bores, which predicts a similar flow ...

A non-hydrostatic numerical model for simulating regular wave breaking and surf-swash zone motions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn the present study, a non-hydrostatic two-dimensional vertical model has been developed to simulate the breaking of regular waves and surf-swash zone motions on a sloping beach.

A laboratory study of the effect of varying beach slopes on bore-driven swash hydrodynamics
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Swash zone hydrodynamics has significant coastal geomorphological and engineering implications. However, there is still a research gap in fully understanding the response of bore-driven swash hydrodynamics to varying beach slopes.

LiDAR Observations of Multi-Modal Swash Probability Distributions on a Dissipative Beach
Remote Sensing, 2021 Understanding swash zone dynamics is of crucial importance for coastal management as the swash motion, consisting of the uprush of the wave on the beach face and the subsequent downrush, is responsible for driving changes in the beach morphology through ...

Small-Scale Morpho-Sedimentary Dynamics in the Swash Zone of a Megatidal Mixed Sand–Gravel Beach
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 On mixed sand–gravel beaches, impacts from gravel- and cobble-sized grains—mobilized by the energetic shorebreak—limit the utility of in situ instrumentation for measuring the small-scale response of the beach face on wave period time scales.

Influence of Beach Slope on Morphological Changes and Sediment Transport under Irregular Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This paper presents new data from large-scale wave flume experiments. It shows the beach profile evolution and sediment transport for two different bed slopes (1:15 and 1:25), and three irregular high-energy erosive wave conditions and one low-energy ...
