Simulating Decadal Coastal Morphodynamics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Coastal geomorphic systems provide many services of key importance to humankind, including protection from flood and erosion hazards, diverse habitats and amenity values (Agardy et al., 2005; Jones et al., 2011). However, these systems are widely undergoing degradation that can be substantially attributed to the cumulative direct and indirect effects of human interference. Declining sediment inputs and throughputs are frequently a factor driving a shift towards progressive coastal erosion (Valiela, 2006; Nicholls et al., 2007). Such sediment starved systems have reduced resilience and are further threatened by humaninduced climate change, not only due to accelerated sea-level rise, but also through possible shifts in wave and surge climate (Wong et al., 2014).

The evolution of beachrock morphology and its influence on beach morphodynamics
Coastal erosion of low latitude beaches frequently results in exposure of beachrock, layers of beach sand cemented in the subsurface by the intergranular precipitation of calcium carbonate. Exposed beachrock can have a profound impact on the event, seasonal, and long-term morphodynamics of a beach. The influence of beachrock on beach processes will largely depend on the extent and morphology of...
