The Concept of Shoreface Profile of Equilibrium: A Critical Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors question the validity of the shoreface profile of equilibrium (SHPE) concept as used in coastal engineering and propose a fundamental reexamination of the engineering methods of determining nearshore shoreface evolution.
Journal Article
Reply to: Dubois, R. N., 2000. Discussion of: E. Robert Thieler, Orrin H. Pilkey, Jr., Robert S. Young, David M. Bush, and Fei Chai, 2000. The Use of Mathematical Models to Predict Beach Behavior for U.S. Coastal Engineering: A Critical Review
TL;DR: It is believed that the models reviewed here should not be relied on as a design tool until they have been substantially modified and proven in real-world situations.
Journal Article
The Use of Mathematical Models to Predict Beach Behavior for U.S. Coastal Engineering: A Critical Review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the assumptions used in analytical and numerical models are not valid in the context of modern oceanographic and geologic principles, including the Bruun Rule, the equilibrium shoreface profile, longshore transport rate equation, and the renourishment factor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined changes in three climate extremes (extratropical storms, winds, and waves) with an emphasis on U.S. coastal regions during the cold season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of geoindicators for rapid assessment of coastal-hazard risk and mitigation
TL;DR: Geoindicators provide a management tool for rapid assessment of natural hazard risk potential, either as a supplement to long-term environmental auditing and monitoring, or for initial coastal assessment as in developing countries as discussed by the authors.
