Despite widespread recognition that landforms are complex Earth systems with process- response linkages that span temporal scales from seconds to millennia and spatial scales …
It is more than half a century since the publication of RA Bagnold's classic book The physics of blown sand and desert dunes, and it is a tribute to the quality of Bagnold's work that many …

This paper examines the stresses on coastal plants and plant adaptations imposed in the coastal dune environment. The coastal dune ecosystem experiences severe stresses in the …
As coastal populations burgeon, problems of erosion, pollution and coastal change are becoming ever more serious and necessitate scientifically informed management strategies …
A series of spatially explicit equations are derived that form the foundation of a modeling framework that provides insight into how the interaction of the fetch effect and angle of wind …

Beach profiles have been surveyed at monthly intervals between 1972 and 1988 at Moruya on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Four profile sites have been used as a …
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 …
Foredunes are shore-parallel dunes formed by aeolian deposition within vegetation. Modern established foredunes are classified into five morphologic stages and the morphologies and …
