TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Kriebel and Dean's simple beach erosion and accretion model to quantitatively reproduce the extreme beach erosion volumes obtained from field measurements at Narrabeen Beach, Australia.

TL;DR: The PCR model is proposed as a more appropriate and defensible method for determining coastal recession due to SLR for planning purposes in the twenty-first century and beyond.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared hydrodynamic forcing in terms of proxies relevant to bed sediment motion for four contrasting tidal flat and salt-marsh ecosystems, and found that the hyddynamic forcing on the bottom sediment (bed shear stress) was strongly influenced by wind-generated waves, more so than by tidal or wind-drive currents.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale flow facility of 16 × 26 m was used to simulate the growth of two vegetation patches by increasing the patch diameter and decreasing the interpatch distance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the mechanisms that translate large-scale physical forcing in the system into vegetation change, in particular the initiation of lateral erosion on an expanding marsh, and the control of seedling establishment in front of an eroding marsh cliff.
