Beach growth driven by intertidal sandbar welding

Seasonal variability in wave conditions drive corresponding cycles of erosion and accretion along sandy beaches. Despite the fact that these oscillations are well documented at numerous sites throughout the world, the physical processes driving beach recovery remain poorly understood. Using field data from a low sloping, dissipative beach in the...

Measured spatial variability of beach erosion due to aeolian processes.

This paper shows the first results of measured spatial variability of beach erosion due to aeolian processes during the recently conducted SEDEX2 field experiment at Long Beach, Washington, U.S.A.. Beach erosion and sedimentation were derived using series of detailed terrestrial LIDAR measurements of beach morphology during three low tide...

The Influence of Spatially Varying Supply on Coastal Aeolian Transport: A Field Experiment

Supply-limiting factors, like moisture content and sediment armoring,<br/>influence coastal aeolian sediment transport and subsequently dune evolution<br/>significantly. We organized a 6-week field experiment on the influence of<br/>spatiotemporal variations in supply on coastal aeolian sediment transport at the<br/>Sand Motor, The Netherlands....
