The influence of heterogeneous sediment properties on coastal processes is commonly
underestimated due to the difficulty in characterizing and quantifying these types of …

At seasonal to century timescales (mesoscale), the shoreface is a critical zone seaward of
the surf zone and/or beachface, in which waves interact with the mobile seafloor to cause …

Marine spatial planning and conservation need underpinning with sufficiently detailed and
accurate seabed substrate and habitat maps. Although multibeam echosounders enable us …

The nearshore region exhibits many striking morphological patterns with a variety of spatial
and temporal scales. The formation of these rhythmic features has been initially ascribed …

High-frequency acoustic backscatter intensity that is returned from sediment is affected by a
number of seabed characteristics including sediment grain size distribution, the nature and …

This study demonstrates the physical concurrence of shore-oblique bars and gravel
outcrops in the surf zone along the northern Outer Banks of North Carolina. These …

Measurements of seafloor ripples under wave‐dominated conditions from the LEO15 site
and the Martha's Vineyard coastal observatory were used to develop a time‐dependent …

Storm-formed sand ridges are important morphologic features occurring on many
continental shelves of the world. Our understanding of the morphology, migration, and the …
