(author)Surfzone mixing and transport on a sandy, steep (∼1/8 slope), reflective beach at Carmel River State Beach, California, are described for a range of wave and alongshore flow conditions. Depth-limited wave breaking occurred close to the shore due to the steepness of the beach, creating a narrow surf/swash zone (∼10 m wide). Fluorescent...journal article 2019

Fujimura, Atsushi G. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Paris, Claire B. (author), Shanks, Alan L. (author), MacMahan, Jamie H. (author), Morgan, Steven G. (author)Larvae of intertidal invertebrates need to cross the surf zone to settle in their adult habitat. Onshore transport of invertebrate larvae and detritus at a steep beach was simulated with a biophysical larval tracking model. Hydrodynamic model calculations were performed for 24 h after a 24 h spin-up stage with bathymetry and averaged wave...journal article 2017
