Role of wave forcing, storms and NAO in outer bar dynamics on a high-energy, macro-tidal beach
Outer sand bar dynamics on a high-energy macro-tidal beach were investigated using long-
term (multi-year) field datasets of intertidal morphology and offshore bathymetry. Utilising a …

Dynamics of rip currents associated with groynes—field measurements, modelling and implications for beach safety
Rip currents can occur around groynes and other coastal structures (eg breakwaters and
geological headlands), which provide a boundary to the wave-induced flow field and …

Rip currents and alongshore flows in single channels dredged in the surf zone
To investigate the dynamics of flows near nonuniform bathymetry, single channels (on
average 30 m wide and 1.5 m deep) were dredged across the surf zone at five different …

Rip currents under obliquely incident wind waves and tidal longshore currents
A field experiment on the nature of rip currents was conducted on the Dutch coast, which
differs from previous rip current study sites because it is a wind-sea dominated environment …
