Headland-bay beach (HBB) is one of the most prominent physiographic features on the
oceanic margin of many countries in the world. Under the influence of a predominant swell …

This paper presents a comprehensive review on the interaction between hydrodynamic
processes, beach morphology and sedimentology at large scale coastal behaviour along …

Within an EU-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance
System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for …

Pocket beaches (PBs) are among the most attractive tourist sites and economic
development contributors in coastal areas; however, they are negatively impacted by the …

Headlands, rock outcrops and engineering structures impact beach and nearshore
dynamics of coastal embayments, inducing boundary effects that constrain the lateral and …

The headland sand bypassing mechanisms in the Eastern Australian longshore sand
transport system are investigated at Cape Byron, in response to wave climate variability. The …

This paper describes the use of moderate and high-resolution remote sensing images
integrated with a Geographic Information System to evaluate the sedimentary balance and …

Myrtos Beach (Cephalonia Island, Ionian Sea, Greece) represents a pocket beach with
strong touristic, economic and natural interest. In this research, the morphodynamic behavior …

Detached breakwaters are widely used for shore protection. The planforms of tombolos or
salients behind structures have also been used to provide a recreational and sustainable …

Headland-bay beaches (HBBs) are ubiquitous on Earth and many coastal scientists and
engineers have attempted to define their planform since the 1940s, by employing laboratory …
