TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that ambient trends in shoreline dynamics, combined with coastal recession driven by sea level rise, could result in the near extinction of almost half of the world's sandy beaches by the end of the century.

TL;DR: In this article, a first pass future assessment indicates that globally aggregated annual overtopping hours will accelerate faster than the global mean sea-level rise itself, with a clearly discernible increase occurring around mid-century regardless of climate scenario.

TL;DR: Athanasiou et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the first global dataset of nearshore slopes with a resolution of 1 km at almost 620,000 points along the global circumference of the globe.

TL;DR: This work quantifies SLR driven potential shoreline retreat and consequent coastal land loss in Europe during the twenty-first century using different combinations of geophysical datasets for (a) the location and spatial extent of sandy beaches and (b) their nearshore slopes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed and evaluated a method to manually extract the sandbar location using freely available satellite imagery for the case study of Anmok beach in South Korea.
