Geological constraints on mesoscale coastal barrier behaviour
Barrier/lagoon systems occupy a significant part of the world's coast. They are diverse in
size, morphology, geological and oceanographic setting, and morphodynamic behaviour …

Shoreface mesoscale morphodynamics: A review
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 …

Global warming and coastal erosion
K Zhang, BC Douglas, SP Leatherman - Climatic change, 2004 - Springer
One of the most certain consequences of global warming is an increase of global (eustatic)
sea level. The resulting inundation from rising seas will heavily impact low-lying areas; at …

Sea-level rise and shoreline retreat: time to abandon the Bruun Rule
JAG Cooper, OH Pilkey - Global and planetary change, 2004 - Elsevier
In the face of a global rise in sea level, understanding the response of the shoreline to
changes in sea level is a critical scientific goal to inform policy makers and managers. A …

Controls on coastal dune morphology, shoreline erosion and barrier island response to extreme storms
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 hypothesis and exploratory model for the formation of large-scale inner-shelf sediment sorting and “rippled scour depressions”
AB Murray, ER Thieler - Continental Shelf Research, 2004 - Elsevier
Recent observations of inner continental shelves in many regions show numerous
collections of relatively coarse sediment, which extend kilometers in the cross-shore …
