Reshaping of San Jose Island, TX, USA, by Unconfined Washover and Channelized Washout During Hurricane Harvey

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hurricane Harvey (2017) produced 31 net‐erosional washout channels on San Jose Island, Texas, USA, where offshore‐directed flows cut through two dune ridges and the beach. Channel growth was affected by natural, pre‐existing aeolian topography, rather than prior washover channels or infrastructure. We investigate how offshore directed outwash,

A semianalytical model for sheet flow layer thickness with application to the swash zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A new semianalytical model for the time-dependent thickness of the sheet flow layer that includes the effects of pressure gradients, bed slope, boundary layer growth, and bore turbulence is presented.

Assessing the Spatiotemporal Variability in Geotechnical Sediment Properties of Beach Cusps on a Sandy Beach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Trophodynamic variations on microtidal North Mediterranean sandy beaches

open access: yesOceanologia, 2005
Trophic models of the micro and meiobenthic community of six sandy beaches on the Ligurian coast (north-western Mediterranean Sea) have been performed to assess variations in structure and function of the ecosystem.

Apresentação de recente metodologia útil para a gestão do risco no litoral

open access: yesTerritorium: Revista Portuguesa de riscos, prevenção e segurança
Os métodos tradicionais de estudo hidrodinâmico das ondas e de batimetria, no domínio litoral de menor profundidade, desde a zona de rebentação (breaker zone) à zona de espraio (swash zone) são difíceis de serem efectuados.

Currents induced by long waves propagating towards a beach over a wavy bed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
For the understanding of longshore currents along a natural beach, the effects of bottom unevenness are considered to be important, especially for the flow in the swash zone. Currents in the swash zone are strongly influenced by the bed slope because the

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

Surf and swash zone hydrodynamics forced by oblique, monochromatic waves in a wave basin with a smooth, impermeable beach

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
Beaches are coastal features that offer economic benefits, ecosystem services, and natural barriers against flooding. Sustainable management of beaches requires a firm understanding of hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes.

The morphodynamics of a swash event on an erodible beach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A high-accuracy numerical solution, coupling one-dimensional shallow water and bed-evolution equations, with, for the first time, a suspended sediment advection equation, thereby including bed and/or suspended load, is used to examine two swash events on

Beach Profile Evolution towards Equilibrium from Varying Initial Morphologies

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
The evolution of different initial beach profiles towards the same final beach configuration is investigated based on large-scale experimental data. The same wave condition was performed three times, each time starting from a different initial profile ...
