The winter of 2013/2014 was characterized by a striking pattern of temporal and spatial
extreme storm wave clustering in Western Europe. The 110-km long Gironde coast, SW …

Publicly available satellite imagery can now provide multi-decadal time series of shoreline
data from local to global scale, enabling analysis of sandy beach shoreline variability across …

Wave-dominated sandy beaches are highly valued by societies and are amongst the world's
most energetic and dynamic environments. On wave-dominated beaches with unlimited …

This paper reviews the initiation, development, and closure of foredune blowouts with focus
on biotic-abiotic interactions. There is a rich body of literature describing field measurements …

A sequence of daily beach surveys acquired over one month covering an area larger than
100,000 m 2, was analyzed to study morphological changes resulting from a cluster of …

The beach-dune response at Truc Vert, SW France, is analysed using DGPS topographic
surveys sampled every 2–4 weeks covering an alongshore distance of 1.5 km, combined …

Video measurements of wave runup were collected during extreme storm conditions
characterized by energetic long swells (peak period of 16.4 s and offshore height up to 6.4 …

Subtidal sandbars often exhibit alongshore variable patterns, such as crescentic plan
shapes and rip channels. While the initial formation of these patterns is reasonably well …

Sandy beaches are highly dynamic environments buffering shores from storm waves and
providing outstanding recreational services. Long-term beach monitoring programs are …

This study investigates the impact of individual storms and storm clusters on shoreline
recovery for the meso-to macrotidal, barred Biscarrosse beach in SW France, using 6 years …
