The influence of heterogeneous sediment properties on coastal processes is commonly
underestimated due to the difficulty in characterizing and quantifying these types of …

▪ Abstract Recent studies of the morphodynamics of the coastal region are reviewed.
Emphasis is given to idealized models that consider a morphological pattern in isolation …

A morphodynamic model is developed and analysed to gain fundamental understanding of
the basic physical mechanisms responsible for the characteristics of shoreface-connected …

Shoreface-connected sand ridges occur on many storm-dominated inner shelves. These
rhythmic features have an along-shelf spacing of 2–10 km, a height of 1–12 m, they evolve …

Field studies, processes, and mechanisms associated with net offshore bar migration are
reviewed. Net offshore bar migration (NOM) has been reported at multi-bar locations on the …

The radial tidal sand ridge (RTSR) off the Jiangsu Coast in the south Yellow Sea is one of
the most fantastic and unique natural landscapes in the world. A large number of …

The German coasts extend along two different seas, the tide-dominated North Sea and the
intra-continental non-tidal Baltic Sea. While the North Sea has an open transition to the …

Sand ridges, with length scales of several km, are prominent features of the seafloor
landscape of many sandy continental shelves. Knowledge about the extent to which these …

A model is developed to investigate the process which leads to the formation of sand waves
in shallow tidal seas characterized by a heterogeneous sea bed composition. The main goal …

Recent studies, which investigate the processes leading to the formation of rhythmic
morphological features in the coastal region, are reviewed. Emphasis is given to …
