Simulating Erosive and Accretive Conditions in the Swash: Applications of a Nonlinear Wave and Morphology Evolution Model

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
This work presents a new model for surf and swash zone morphology evolution induced by nonlinear waves. Wave transformation in the surf and swash zones is computed by a nonlinear wave model based on the higher order Boussinesq equations for breaking and ...

Measurement of tide induced changes to water table profiles in coarse and fine sand beaches along Pegasus Bay, Canterbury [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
Measurements of changing water table profiles in beaches along Pegasus Bay, Canterbury, show an interchange of water between the sea and beach sand pores throughout a single semi-diurnal tidal cycle. The velocity of water escaping from the water table in

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

Nearshore Wave Transformation Domains from Video Imagery

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Within the nearshore area, three wave transformation domains can be distinguished based on the wave properties: shoaling, surf, and swash zones.

Assessing Deposit‐Derived Pyroclastic Flow Hazard at Stromboli (Italy): 1. Reconstruction of the Dynamics of the 11 September 1930 Event

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Stromboli volcano (Italy) is known for its persistent explosive activity punctuated by more energetic explosions called paroxysms. During paroxysms, pyroclastic density currents, triggered by the gravitational instability of hot pyroclastic deposits, can occur.

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport Under Solitary Waves in the Swash Zone

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Swash–swash interaction is a common natural phenomenon in the nearshore region, characterized by complex fluid motion. The characteristics of swash–swash interaction are crucial to sediment transport, subsequently affecting the beach morphology.
