The water sector is one of the priority areas of the European Union; therefore, legislation
encourages the development of methods to protect the river ecosystem. The key to this is the …

Barrier island overwash occurs when the elevation of wave runup exceeds the dune crest
and induces landward transport of sediment across a barrier island and deposition of a …

Coastal barriers are dynamic systems, the morphology and architecture of which are
controlled by local hydrodynamics, sea‐level fluctuations at different timescales, geological …

Under natural conditions, barrier islands might grow vertically and migrate onshore under
the influence of long‐term sea level rise. Sediment is transported onshore during storm …

Backbarrier saltmarshes are considered carbon sinks; however, barrier island transgression
and the associated processes of erosion and overwash are typically not included in coastal …

In early 2021, the dune at Duck Harbor Beach (Wellfleet, MA, USA) was overtopped by high
water levels, forming a washover fan that continues to grow through persistent overwash …

Dune erosion principally occurs when water level exceeds the elevation of the beach and
predicting erosion is progressively becoming more important for management as coastal …

Few datasets exist of high-frequency, in situ measurements of storm overwash, an essential
mechanism for the subaerial maintenance of barrier islands and spits. Here we describe a …
