Shoreline recovery on wave-dominated sandy coastlines: the role of sandbar morphodynamics and nearshore wave parameters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified and characterised the temporal variability of shoreline recovery on a high-energy sandy coastline using a 10-year dataset of daily shoreline and sandbar positions from a Coastal Imaging station at Narrabeen-Collaroy Beach, Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural hazards in Australia: sea level and coastal extremes

TL;DR: In this paper, a review details significant progress over recent years in understanding the causes of past and projections of future changes in sea level and coastal extremes, yet a number of research questions, knowledge gaps and challenges remain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calibrating and assessing uncertainty in coastal numerical models

TL;DR: The GLUE method is shown to provide a significant improvement in predictive skill; a more rigorous evaluation of the model sensitivity to parameters; the ability to identify distinct differences in the XBeach model performance dependent on dune impact processes; and additional analysis including the quantification of parameter-induced uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geotextile sand container shoreline protection systems: Design and application

TL;DR: This paper outlines the current “state of the art” in terms of the design and specification of geotextile sand containers (GSC) and covers the key issues which will ensure the long term integrity of a geotesxtile shoreline protection system is maintained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing Adaptation of Urban Water Systems in a Changing Climate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the current major climate change adaptation challenges facing the water supply industry at large, with a particular focus on these challenges in an Australian context, and highlight the critical knowledge gaps and strategies required to assist in the formulation of adaptation responses to the range of potential impacts on water infrastructure and future water security.
