This paper reviews the initiation, dynamics, geomorphology and evolution of incipient
foredunes, established foredunes, and blowouts. Incipient foredunes may be initiated in a …

Despite widespread recognition that landforms are complex Earth systems with process-
response linkages that span temporal scales from seconds to millennia and spatial scales …

Beaches and coastal dunes are dynamic geomorphic systems that respond to process
forcing over a broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. At all scales, there are …

More than 4000 hourly wind profiles measured on three topographically different foredunes
are analysed and discussed. Wind flow over the foredunes is studied by means of the …

Time-averaged windspeed profiles at eight locations over a relatively high (8 m), vegetated,
topographically simple foredune were measured using cup and ultrasonic anemometry …

Evidence from a field study on wind flow and sediment transport across a beach–dune
system under onshore and offshore conditions (including oblique approach angles) …

This paper examines the role of coastline orientation on foredune and dunefield
development at Moçambique Beach, Southern Brazil. The beach displays significant …

A review of the processes of initiation, evolution, dynamics, geomorphology, and location of
coastal dunes is provided. Four principal dune types are covered: foredunes, blowouts …

Flow deflection of surface winds is common across coastal foredunes and blowouts. Incident
winds approaching obliquely to the dune toe and crestline tend to be deflected towards a …

Wind flow and sand transport intensity were measured on the seaward slope of a vegetated
foredune during a 16 h storm using an array of sonic anemometers and Wenglor laser …
