Beach Profile Evolution towards Equilibrium from Varying Initial Morphologies
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 ...

WAVE PERIOD AND THE SWASH ZONE ENERGY BALANCE
The shape sorting of pebbles in the swash zone was studied in an effort to determine the effect of the amount of foreshore infiltration per wave on the swash zone energy balance. Measurements were made of pebbles collected from the swash limit and from the step of selected sandy beaches.

Microfungal species abundance and specific composition of three urban beaches near Genoa (Liguria, NW Italy) in the swash zone interstitial water (SZIW) were evaluated. These beaches are characterized by a high presence of tourists. The investigation was

Geomorphological control on boulder transport and coastal erosion before, during and after an extreme extra-tropical cyclone [PDF]
Extreme wave events in coastal zones are principal drivers of geomorphic change. Evidence of boulder entrainment and erosional impact during storms is increasing.

Motion of water and sediment due to non-breaking waves in the swash zone
A long wave run-up theory is applied to the modelling of wave-induced flow velocities, sediment transport rates and bottom changes in a swash zone. First, the properties of the water tongue motion and the resulting lithodynamic response are analysed ...

Swash zone topography rapidly responds to the surf zone waves. Understanding how sandy beaches respond to wave action is critical for beach erosion research, and plays a critical role in the design and maintenance of shore protection structures. The main

LANDSAT application of remote sensing to shoreline-form analysis [PDF]
The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT imagery of the southern end of Assateague Island, Virginia, was enlarged to 1:80,000 and compared with high altitude (1:130,000) and low altitude (1:24,000) aerial photography in an ...
