Marine geohazard research has developed during recent decades, as human activities
intensified towards deeper waters. Some recent disastrous events (eg, the 2004 Indian …

Sand wave morphology and dynamics on continental shelves vary substantially, and we
hypothesize that these spatial variations depend on local bed properties and hydrodynamic …

The understanding of the morphodynamics of harmonic bed forms on the seabed is
essential for modeling marine sediment transport and coastal morphologic development …

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

Shelf seas often display rhythmic bedforms, of which tidal sand waves are the most relevant
to study from an engineering point of view due to their dimensions and dynamic nature …

Understanding sand wave dynamics is of importance in marine science and also has
relevance in engineering. Giant sand wave fields (wave heights up to 10 m) are not common …

Seafloor networks of cables, pipelines, and other infrastructure underpin our daily lives,
providing communication links, information, and energy supplies. Despite their global …

Sand waves are found on shallow, sandy seabeds throughout the world and their dynamics
may pose an imminent threat to offshore construction. Therefore, there is a pressing need to …

We present a two-dimensional vertical (2DV) flow and morphological numerical model
describing the behaviour of offshore sand waves. The model contains the 2DV shallow …

The superimposition of rhythmic bed forms of different spatial scales is a common and
natural phenomenon on sandy seabeds. The dynamics of such seabeds may interfere with …
