Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Beaches that are geologically controlled by rock and coral formations are the rule, not the
exception. This paper reviews the current understanding of geologically controlled beaches …

We present a shoreline change model for coastal hazard assessment and management
planning. The model, CoSMoS‐COAST (Coastal One‐line Assimilated Simulation Tool), is a …

Megarips have long been recognised as an important, yet poorly documented, mechanism
of beach erosion on high-energy embayed beaches. The persistence and cumulative effect …

We analyse a seven-year dataset (1999–2005) of shoreline and sandbar variations derived
from video observations at the embayed Tairua Beach, New Zealand, to explore sandbar …

We use a nonlinear morphodynamic model to examine the formation and nonlinear
evolution of surfzone rip channels on embayed beaches. Starting from a range of embayed …

This study focuses on four years of survey of two low-microtidal emerged beaches (average
tidal range≈ 0.3 m), presenting permanent megacusps on the French Mediterranean coast …

Globally, embayed beaches are common to hilly and mountainous coastlines. They are
typically characterised by two headlands that are a primary control on incident wave …

The use of variance images for runup and shoreline detection is analyzed in this work. A
methodology based on the variance images is first motivated with synthetic time stacks and …

This study describes the first comprehensive measurements of nearshore current patterns
across the entire extent of an embayed beach bounded by headland rip currents. A field …
