Hydrodynamic forcing with respect to sediment transport and morphologic change, paying
particular attention to relevant swash asymmetries, is reviewed. The hydrodynamics are …

The dominant processes in gravel beach dynamics are reviewed, highlighting some
common themes which unify the various components of the gravel beach system, the …

It is a long-standing maxim that coarser sediment sizes are associated with steeper beach-
face slopes; but because most work has focused on sandy beaches, few data are available …

A tripartite classification of gravel beaches, based upon morphodynamic properties, is
proposed and demonstrated for 42 New Zealand beaches. The main advantage of this …

In this paper we present a process-based numerical model for the prediction of storm
hydrodynamics and hydrology on gravel beaches. The model comprises an extension of an …

The study aims to calibrate/validate and apply the dune-erosion model, XBeach, in order to
predict morphological response to storm events along a meso-tidal, steeply sloping beach …

This paper presents a methodology for modelling medium term (annual to decadal) cross
shore beach profile change and erosion. The statistical-process based approach (SPA) …

This paper reviews research on beach groundwater dynamics and identifies research
questions which will need to be answered before swash zone sediment transport and beach …

Observations of morphological change and swash sediment loads, concurrent with
measurements of water level, waves and currents, were obtained during a spring-to-spring …

Groundwater dynamics in the coastal unconfined aquifer is one of the most important
physical factors in the coastal zone since it greatly influences the nearshore hydrodynamics …
