Barrier islands and low-lying countries protected by dunes are especially vulnerable to dune erosion. To properly assess the risks these areas face, a clear understanding of the physical processes during dune erosion is required.An international field experiment was conducted to study dune erosion during storm surges from November 6 2021 until January 6 2022. on the Sand Engine. During the Realdune/Reflex experiment, two prototype un-vegetated dunes of 5.5 m high and 150 m long were built just above the high waterline. Due to a different shoreline orientation and nearshore bathymetry, these dunes eroded differently during moderate storm conditions. 3 storms were captured during the campaign.This abstract presents preliminary results of morphodynamic change during these 3 storms, by means of profile changes and erosion volumes.
