TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize multi-decadal, co-located data assimilated between 1979 and 2012 that describe wave climate, local water levels and coastal change for 48 beaches throughout the Pacific Ocean basin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the concept of vulnerability as characterized in the climate change literature and present a framework for assessing adaptive capacity of coastal communities to climate change related risks, highlighting determinants of adaptive capacity at the local scale and situates them within larger regional, national and international settings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured wind flow and sediment transport over a beach and foredune at Greenwich Dunes, Prince Edward Island National Park, with the express purpose of addressing these complex interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a revised conceptual model of lee-side airflow is presented and areas for further research are identified regarding the implications of such patterns for dune sedimentary dynamics, morphology, and migration.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of beach surface moisture and fetch effects on the threshold of movement, intensity of sand transport by wind and mass flux were investigated. But the authors focused on the effect of wind speed and direction on the sand transport.
