The world's coastlines are shaped by mean sea level, wave conditions, storm surge, and
riverflows. Climate change (CC) driven variations in these environmental forcings will …

The global decline in estuarine and coastal ecosystems (ECEs) is affecting a number of
critical benefits, or ecosystem services. We review the main ecological services across a …

The lower shoreface provides the connection between the continental shelf and the
shoreline via its onshore transition called the upper shoreface. Lower shorefaces are …

This study analyzed decadal and regional trends in one type of shore protection method:
beach nourishment, since its beginning in the US nearly 100 years ago. While strategies …

Beaches around the world continuously adjust to daily and seasonal changes in wave and
tide conditions, which are themselves changing over longer time-scales. Different …

Coastal zone management requires the ability to predict coastline response to storms and
longer‐term seasonal to interannual variability in regional wave climate. Shoreline models …

Nearshore slope, defined as the cross-shore gradient of the subaqueous profile, is an
important input parameter which affects hydrodynamic and morphological coastal …

Understanding anticipated climate-induced changes in the global wind-wave climate is
paramount for sustainable development of coastal and ocean industry-operations …

Wave-dominated and mixed-energy barriers are extremely dynamic landforms, responding
to processes operating over a spectrum of time scales, ranging from daily-to-monthly …

As a valuable resource in coastal areas, coastlines are not only vulnerable to natural
processes such as erosion, siltation, and disasters, but are also subjected to strong …
