An understanding of the interaction between surface and groundwater flows in the swash
zone is necessary to understand beach profile evolution. Coastal researchers have …

The morphological behaviour of the coastline is important for a great number of reasons.
Erosion and accretion of the shoreline in response to dynamic wave conditions are functions …

This paper reviews research on beach groundwater dynamics and identifies research
questions which will need to be answered before swash zone sediment transport and beach …

Mixed beaches are a comparatively neglected area of coastal research, other than for
sedimentological investigations or relatively long-term geomorphological change. The paper …

Wave-induced beach groundwater flow has been linked to sediment transport in the near-
shore zone and chemical transfer from the aquifer to the ocean. The flow dynamics …

The variation of seawater level resulting from tidal fluctuations is usually neglected in
regional groundwater flow studies. Although the tidal oscillation is damped near the …

Groundwater and associated nutrients discharge from the beachface to the Delaware
Estuary at Cape Henlopen, Delaware, and appear to contribute significantly to the …

The biogeochemistry and magnitude of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) was
investigated in one of the largest tidal flat ecosystems worldwide, along the Yellow Sea …

Both textural maturity and structure acquired by gravels on beaches are largely a response
to the interaction between beach surface and wave-backwash energy. The turbulent energy …

Approximately 70% of the world's population lives in coastal areas, and the majority of these
people depend on coastal aquifers for freshwater. The fragility of these aquifers and their …
