Beach ridges are landforms commonly developed on prograded coasts with beach
shorelines. A sequence of beach ridges, coupled with their subsurface deposits, can be …

Palaeoshorelines and associated palaeo-coastal features are studied to reconstruct past
sea level, climate, and depositional environments. Their identification typically depends on …

The aim of this work was to analyze the sedimentary record of the coastal plain of Pelotas
Basin, placing it in the context of temporal and spatial scales, and proposing a stratigraphic …

This paper presents the geological and morphological evolution of the prograded Cassino
barrier during the middle and late Holocene. A special focus is given on the presentation …

Coastal barriers represent the main depositional system of the coastal plain of Rio Grande
do Sul (RS). During the Late Quaternary (last 400 ka), four barrier-lagoon systems were …

Extreme storm events in the coastal zone are one of the main forcing agents of short-term
coastal system behavior. As such, storms represent a major threat to human activities …

The designation “coastal barrier”, related terms and their varied interpretations, and critical
concepts in coastal plain and nearshore geology, underwent numerous reincarnations over …

Sand beach ridges are considered to be derived either from aeolian processes and/or
waves but their deposition by individual or multiple storms has not been investigated in any …

Holocene coastal evolution has been extensively studied by workers from various earth
science disciplines, particularly sedimentologists and geomorphologists. Some of these …

This paper focuses on high-resolution coastal stratigraphy data, which were revealed by the
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system. Surveys performed with GPR on the surface of …
