Stromatolites document microbial interactions with sediments and flowing water throughout
recorded Earth history and have the potential to illuminate the long-term history of life and …

This vision paper discusses the advances made over the last three decades in coastal sand
transport and morphodynamics, and the research needs for the coming decades. The prime …

The knowledge and modeling of wave‐induced sand transport over rippled beds still has
significant shortcomings, which is partly related to a lack of measurements of the detailed …

New large-scale experiments have been carried out in two oscillatory flow tunnels to study
ripple regime sand suspension and net sand transport processes in full-scale oscillatory …

We develop a three‐dimensional numerical model to simulate bed form dynamics in a
turbulent boundary layer. In the numerical model, hydrodynamics is solved in a moving …

The development of bedforms under unidirectional, oscillatory and combined‐flows results
from temporal changes in sediment transport, flow and morphological response. In such …

Ripples take time to evolve to a new equilibrium state in response to a change in wave‐
generated oscillatory flow. The paper presents results from flow tunnel experiments …

Tidal flats are valuable ecosystems that depend on complex biogeomorphic processes
between organisms and sediment transport. Climate change has led to a rise in extreme …

A comprehensive database of existing (since 1954) field and laboratory measurements of
ripple geometry is compiled and combined with newly collected field data to examine the …

Stromatolites have often served as a diagnostic carbonate facies for deep‐time
palaeoclimatic and geobiological studies because they may form under favourable …
