Wave characteristics derived from video

Collection of long-term data sets of wave characteristics and bathymetry with high resolution in time is a prerequisite to improve our understanding of nearshore coastal dynamics. Advanced video monitoring systems allow to sample these data automatically, on a long-term basis and without the need to deploy in situ instruments in a hostile...

The effect of wave period on dune erosion

Dune erosion is a relatively fast developing cross-shore transport process which occurs during severe wave attack combined with high water levels. Large quantities of sand coming from the dunes are transported seaward. If no seaward or lateral losses occur, the sand balance will be closed in cross-shore direction. The eroded sand will deposit on...
