Scientific research on sediment dynamics in the coastal zone and along the littoral zone has
evolved considerably over the last four decades. It benefits from a technological revolution …

Insight on wave regimes along the world's coastlines is important for virtually all coastal and
nearshore marine activities, installations, planning and protection. Waves are pervasive and …

Regular and long-term monitoring of coastal areas is a prerequisite to avoiding or mitigating
the impacts of climate and human-driven hazards. In Africa, where populations and …

Although coastal morphology results essentially from underwater sediment transports, the
evolution of underwater beach profiles along the diverse coastlines of the world is still poorly …

This study assessed the extremes of wave conditions for past (1979–2005) and future (2026–
2045 and 2081–2100) time slices in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG). The ensemble produced from …

The low-lying Senegalese sandy coast is extremely vulnerable to marine flooding and
erosion. Using climate and wave reanalysis, we establish the remote connections between …

Video camera systems have been used over nearly three decades to monitor coastal
dynamics. They facilitate a high-frequency analysis of spatiotemporal shoreline mobility …

At the interface between land and sea, the shoreface of sandy coasts extends from the dune
(up to tens of meters above the sea level) to below the depth of the closure (often tens of …

Coastal areas such as beaches with steep upper slope and flat low-tide terrace, are
expected to be increasingly affected by sea level changes. Related impacts due to the …

Input and dissipation source terms contribute significantly to the projection of ocean wave
properties in numerical wave models. They form an integral part of the wave energy balance …
