The fetch effect is an increase of the aeolian sediment transport rate with distance downwind
over an erodible surface. The first observations of the fetch effect go back 70years and the …

Observations of aeolian transport in coastal areas have focused on short-term experiments
because of limitations imposed by instrumentation. This paper uses a case study at …

Ephemeral aeolian sand strips are commonplace on beaches. Their formation during high
energy sand transport events often precedes the development of protodunes and their …

Foredunes are efficient natural coastal defenses acting as protective barriers during storm
events. They also have the capacity to be an ecosystem hosting significant biodiversity. The …

A review of the processes of initiation, evolution, dynamics, geomorphology, and location of
coastal dunes is provided. Four principal dune types are covered: foredunes, blowouts …

This study assesses the accuracy of the aeolian transport model proposed by van Rijn and
Strypsteen in 2020 in predicting sediment transport rates for dune growth, with a focus on …

Near‐surface airflow over a morphologically simple, vegetated, 8 m high foredune with a
small wave‐cut scarp was measured for onshore to oblique‐onshore conditions during a …

Long-term changes in dune volume at the Belgian coast are analyzed based on measured
data by airborne surveys available from 1979. For most of the 65 km long coastal stretch …

Coastal foredunes are shore-parallel ridges that form in the backshore and their
morphodynamics are controlled partly by seasonal and spatial variations in the coastal …

This field study identifies the short-term (hours) effect of freshly deposited wrack on aeolian
transport and surface elevation changes on the backshore and foredune of a barrier island …
