TL;DR: The Sand Engine nourishment is a pilot project to test the efficacy of local mega-nourishments as a counter measure for the anticipated enhanced coastal recession in the 21st century as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Sand Engine peninsula, a highly concentrated nourishment of 17 million m3 of sand in the shape of a sandy hook and protruding 1 km from shore, was measured intensively on a monthly scale in the first 18 months after completion as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new and generic method for automated shoreline detection from the largely unexplored collection of publicly available satellite imagery, which is tested for accuracy for 143 images against high resolution in-situ data along a coastal stretch near the Sand Motor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new model approach for multifraction aeolian sediment transport in which sediment availability is simulated rather than parameterized through the velocity threshold is presented, which can cope with arbitrary spatiotemporal configurations of bed surface properties that either limit or enhance the sediment availability or sediment transport capacity.

TL;DR: In this article, a windsurf-coupled numerical modeling framework is presented to simulate the co-evolution of the coastal zone in response to both marine and aeolian processes.
