Abstract On October 29, 2012, storm surge and large waves produced by Hurricane Sandy
resulted in the formation of a breach in eastern Fire Island, NY. The goals of this study are to …

The ongoing rise in sea level affects tidal propagation and circulation in estuaries, and these
changes can have far reaching consequences on the sediment dynamics, water quality and …

Tidal inlets on barrier coasts can migrate alongshore hundreds of meters per year, often
presenting great management and engineering challenges. Here we perform model …

Human interventions and climate change can heavily influence the large-scale
morphological development of tidal basins. This has implications on sediment management …

Thirty one percent (31%) of the world's coastline consists of sandy beaches and dunes that
form a natural defense protecting the hinterland from flooding. A common measure to …

Coherent sandy shoals that migrate toward the downdrift coast are observed on many ebb‐
tidal deltas. In this study, processes that cause the growth and migration of shoals on ebb …

The large-scale littoral sediment drift along barrier island coasts involves alongshore sand
transport at the islands' surf zone and across tidal inlets. Mechanisms of sediment bypassing …

Ameland inlet is centrally located in the chain of West Frisian Islands (the Netherlands). A
globally unique dataset of detailed bathymetric charts starting in the early 19th century, and …

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 …

Rivers supply sediment to estuaries and alter estuarine tidal wave regimes. However, the
long-term (> century) impact of seasonally varying river discharges on estuarine …
