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 review focuses on recent advances in process-based numerical models of the impact of
extreme storms on sandy coasts. Driven by larger-scale models of meteorology and …

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 …

Numerical models can be useful for explaining poorly understood phenomena or for reliable
quantitative predictions. When modeling a multi-scale system, a 'top-down'approach …

Contourite depositional systems have been the focus of much recent research, but still
relatively little is known about contourite erosive features and their associated processes …

Beach and nearshore morphology, defined primarily by slope and sandbar development, is
very dynamic and is largely controlled by waves, currents and regional sediment …

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 …
