Developing future projections of shoreline change requires a good understanding of the
driving coastal processes. These processes result primarily from the combination of mean …

Coastline retreat is an evident sign of the vulnerability of low-lying sandy coasts to erosion
and sea level rise (SLR). Sand nourishments are commonly used to maintain foreshores …

Current coastal protection strategy in Portugal defines beach and shoreface nourishment as
a valid measure to mitigate coastal erosion in some erosional hot-spots, being considered …

In Aveiro (NW coast of Portugal), a coastal monitoring programme was carried out in
sequence of a shoreface nourishment intervention (over than 2 M m 3) performed in 2020. In …

Modeling studies addressing daily to interannual coastal evolution typically relate shoreline
change with waves, currents and sediment transport through complex processes and …

Beaches, as deposits of unconsolidated material at the land/water interface, are open
systems where input and output items constitute the sediment budget. Beach evolution …

The morphological evolution of the Tagus estuary inlet in the last century is analyzed in
order to characterize its dynamics, explain its behavior and anticipate its future evolution …

Shoreline changes are associated with natural and anthropic factors, such as sea-level rise,
sediment budget, and beach fills. Shoreline retreat is mainly related to sediment deficit and …

Improved understanding of how our coasts will evolve over a range of time scales (years‐
decades) is critical for effective and sustainable management of coastal infrastructure. A …

Like other similar coastal systems, the Albufeira lagoon is artificially opened every year to
promote water renewal and closes naturally within a few months. The evolution of the …
