The role of rocky coasts as depositional environments has been generally neglected by rock-
and depositional-coast workers. Although rock coasts can be hostile sedimentary …

Headlands, rock outcrops and engineering structures impact beach and nearshore
dynamics of coastal embayments, inducing boundary effects that constrain the lateral and …

Mechanisms through which naturally-occurring hard landforms, such as rock and coral reefs,
influence coastal sediment transport are still poorly understood. Therefore, field …

A field experiment was conducted on the northern Yucatan coast from April 1 to April 12,
2014 to investigate the role of intense wind events on coastal circulation from the inner shelf …

Embayed beach dynamics differ from open beaches due to the nature of headland control.
Their resultant morphologies and morphodynamic behaviour are poorly understood due in …

This contribution presents the results of a study on the shoreline variability of a natural
perched urban beach (Ammoudara, N. Crete, Greece). Shoreline variability was monitored …

We hypothesized that beach profiles that are perched on natural rock structures would be
better protected from waves and currents than profiles that are not fronted by rock. In …

Coastal setbacks are used to protect populations and infrastructure, and involve determining
baselines and historic trends in shoreline movements. Assessing these movements can be …

The effect of coastal reefs on seasonal erosion and accretion was investigated on 2 km of
sandy coast. The focus was on how reef topography drives alongshore variation in the mode …

ABSTRACT Alexandrakis, G.; Ghionis, G., and Poulos, S. 2013. The effect of beach rock
formation on the morphological evolution of a beach. The case study of an eastern …
