Coastal regions are exposed to natural phenomena such as sea waves, sea level rise,
climate change, and flooding events. These factors, along with human pressures, lead to an …

Wave nonlinearity is a main driving force for near-bed sediment transport, and thus affects
the beach evolution. Accurate prediction of wave nonlinearity is an essential need for the …

Along sandy coastlines, submerged, shore-parallel sandbars play an essential role in
shoreline morphology by dissipating wave energy through depth-induced wave breaking …

A reduced-scale mobile-bed model is employed in a series of flume experiments to
investigate the evolution of a submerged berm under low-energy irregular waves. Sixteen …

Beach nourishment, a common practice to replenish an eroded beach face with filling sand,
has become increasingly popular as an environmentally friendly soft engineering measure …

Shoreface nourishments with the artificial sandbar are effective strategies to mitigate coastal
erosions mainly by wave breaking and reflection. Thus, a better understanding of the …

Artificial reefs are being implemented around the world for their multi-functions including
coastal protection and environmental improvement. To better understand the hydrodynamic …

Sand spits are fragile landforms that have rich values in economic, ecology, landscape and
many other respects. They are quite diverse in morphology and their evolution mechanisms …

Beach nourishment is a proved effective protection approach which has been widely used in
recent years. An Argus video monitoring system has been set up to monitor morphological …

Artificial reefs have proven to be an optimal and effective solution in stabilizing coastlines
around the world. They are submerged structures that imitate the protection service provided …
