This paper reviews the initiation, dynamics, geomorphology and evolution of incipient
foredunes, established foredunes, and blowouts. Incipient foredunes may be initiated in a …

Beach ridges are landforms commonly developed on prograded coasts with beach
shorelines. A sequence of beach ridges, coupled with their subsurface deposits, can be …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing
environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …

Coastal zones are becoming increasingly topical (and politically sensitive) as they face
relentless pressures from urban expansion, recreational development, and sea level rise …

The response of a barrier island to an extreme storm depends in part on the surge elevation
relative to the height and extent of the foredunes which can exhibit considerable variability …

A new dune profile model, Duna, is developed and coupled with the existing XBeach model,
in which some key improvements allow a much better behaviour of the intertidal beach and …

Coastal dunes are ubiquitous elements of the dune-beach system that exist along the
shores of many water bodies in the world where waves and currents interact with available …

Sandy beaches are dynamic systems that host a diverse range of fauna whose habitat is
controlled by the interactions among sand, waves and tides. In recent decades much of the …

The sedimentary record of aeolian sand systems extends from the A rchean to the Q
uaternary, yet current understanding of aeolian sedimentary processes and product remains …

Many prograded barriers and some dunefields in theworld have been termed'beach
ridge'plains, but the actual genesis of the'ridges' is often unknown. Use of the terms, berms …
