Sand dunes are natural features providing protection to coastal communities against waves
from extreme events such as hurricanes. In this study, the non-hydrostatic XBeach model …

Detached breakwaters are widely used for shore protection. The planforms of tombolos or
salients behind structures have also been used to provide a recreational and sustainable …

The process-based XBeach model has numerous empirical parameters because of
insufficient understanding of hydrodynamics and sediment transport on the nearshore; …

The morphological response of a wave-dominated embayed beach to large storms was
investigated via field data collection and numerical simulation. Hydrodynamic and …

Process-based models are suitable tools for reproducing storm-driven erosion. However,
their performance has been mainly examined on mild-slope sandy beaches and their use on …

The performance of the process-based nearshore model XBeach for predicting extreme
offshore-directed sediment transport was investigated using field observations at a …

Introduction: The sandy soils in the arid Southern Balkhash region have experienced
anthropogenic degradation, leading to the formation of bare mobile sand dunes. This …

Early warning systems (EWSs) for coastal erosion are cost‐effective instruments for risk
reduction. Among other aspects, the selection of the pre‐storm beach morphology and the …

Crescentic sand bar in the coastal zone of eastern Korea is a common morphological
feature and the rhythmic patterns exist constantly except for high wave energy events …

Beach profiles are constantly changing due to external ocean forces. Estimating these
changes is crucial to understanding and addressing coastal erosion issues, such as …
