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

The evolution, ecological processes, aerodynamics, and morphology of incipient or new
foredunes on the upper beach is reviewed. Four types of incipient foredunes may be …

Coastal Geomorphology, Second Edition is a comprehensive and systematic introduction to
this subject and demonstrates the dynamic nature of coastal landforms, providing a …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing

Coastal zones are becoming increasingly topical (and politically sensitive) as they face
relentless pressures from urban expansion, recreational development, and sea level rise …

Beach ridges, frequent components of Quaternary coastal plains, and other coastal
landforms, have been cited as indicators of the positions of ancient seashores and …

The response of a barrier island to an extreme storm depends in part on the surge elevation
relative to the height and extent of the foredunes which can exhibit considerable variability …

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 …

The aeolian development of coastal foredunes is studied at two sites along the Dutch coast.
Amounts of sand transport are measured in cross-sections over the foredunes, and changes …

Sediment supply to coastal foredunes was measured over the period 1986-1992 at three
sites along the accretional distal end of Long Point spit, Lake Erie. Sediment supply was …
