The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) recently estimated that global sea
level will rise from 0.18 to 0.59 m by the end of this century. Rising sea level not only …

The lower shoreface provides the connection between the continental shelf and the
shoreline via its onshore transition called the upper shoreface. Lower shorefaces are …

The southwest coast of England was subjected to an unusually energetic sequence of
Atlantic storms during the 2013/2014 winter, with the 8‐week period from mid‐December to …

Sand and gravel beaches naturally act as a coastal buffer, absorbing wave energy and
dynamically adapting to the seasonal and long-term wave climate. Significant shifts in …

Coastal dunes are sensitive to both anthropic and natural processes of erosion. In this study,
we analyse the geomorphic changes in 15 dune-fringed coastlines of Asturias (NW Spain) …

The dominant processes in gravel beach dynamics are reviewed, highlighting some
common themes which unify the various components of the gravel beach system, the …

The shoreline position is difficult to predict but the trend of erosion or accretion can be
determined by geospatial and statistical techniques which may help in reducing the loss of …

Coastal changes on sandy shorelines are continuous and occur at diverse spatial and
temporal scales. Gaining knowledge on beach change processes increases our capability to …

Extreme storms are responsible for rapid changes to coastlines worldwide. During the
2013/14 winter, the west coast of Europe experienced a sequence of large, storm-induced …

Wave-dominated and mixed-energy barriers are extremely dynamic landforms, responding
to processes operating over a spectrum of time scales, ranging from daily-to-monthly …
