- Abstract:
- ... Monitoring of the coastline and coastal processes, in particular sediment movement, is vital to ensure that erosion response is appropriate given the dynamic nature of coastal systems. This should take place regularly over long periods and it is important that data are collected from submerged portions of the littoral zone, as well as the visible beach. This highlights two limitations in existing ...

- Abstract:
- ... Flocculation is very common and significant for cohesive sediment in coastal areas, and the influence of temperature on it cannot be neglected. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), combined with the extended Derjaguin‒Landau‒Verwey‒Overbeek (XDLVO) theory, which considers the micro-interaction forces between particles, was applied to simulate the settling and flocculation processes of cohesive sedi ...

This paper presents preliminary results of the analysis of phytolith evidence for Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) from Early Bronze Age occupation levels at Tell Fadous-Kfarabida on the north-central coast of modern Lebanon. Sediment samples were collected from a wide range of activity areas and contexts, but date palm only occurred in Early Bronze Age (EBIII) storage contexts, its earliest positi ...

- Abstract:

Accurate determination of geometric parameters is key to a holistic understanding of storm and tsunami deposits and for modeling wave magnitudes responsible for the displacement of large boulders. We present a new approach in acquiring high-resolution geometric data on coastal boulder deposits related to extreme wave events. The reconstruction of boulder movements along coastlines contributes to a ...

- Abstract:

However, relatively little is known about the hydrodynamic conditions and erosion–accretion processes during ESWS, because the water depth is too shallow to measure in situ sediment dynamic processes using t ...

The main hazards originating from coastal storms are inundation and erosion, and their magnitude and extent needs to be accurately assessed for effective management of coastal risk. The use of state-of-art morphodynamic process-based models is becomi ...

Predicting the future behavior of beach and nearshore systems requires an accurate delineation and understanding of coastal cell boundaries, sediment transport pathways, and sediment sources and sinks. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of field datasets on beach and nearshore morphological change that extend fully from the top of the dunes to beyond the depth of closure to enable quantification of ...

Historical documents provide a general chronological overview of the environmental evolution of the Yangtze River delta (YRD) during the last ca. 2000 years; however, absolute dating of the region’s late Holocene sediment is relatively rare. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating has been increasingly applied to the age determination of Holocene deposits in deltaic environments. In this st ...

- Abstract:
- ... Embayed beaches are widely distributed around the world. Their shoreline evolution is controlled primarily by the upstream headland and prevailing wave conditions. Tidal inlets are also ubiquitous in sandy coasts. They are quite dynamic and act as a sediment source or sink, depending on the sediment transport pattern and budget. An embayed beach may develop downstream of a tidal inlet if a protrud ...

Understanding the dynamics of sediment transport and erosion-deposition patterns in the locality of a coastal structure is vital to evaluating the performance of coastal structures and predicting the changes in coastal dynamics caused by a specific structure. The nearshore hydro-morphodynamic responses to coastal structures vary widely, as these responses are complex functions with numerous parame ...
