Journal ArticleDOI
Sandy coastlines under threat of erosion
Michalis Vousdoukas,Roshanka Ranasinghe,Roshanka Ranasinghe,Lorenzo Mentaschi,Theocharis A. Plomaritis,Theocharis A. Plomaritis,Panagiotis Athanasiou,Arjen Luijendijk,Luc Feyen +8 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beachrock occurrence, characteristics, formation mechanisms and impacts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the reported occurrences, characteristics and formation mechanisms of beachrocks and consider their impacts on the coastal zone, which is a global and diachronic phenomenon and the great majority of beachrock formations are found in tropical/subtropical and low temperate latitude, microtidal coasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting coastal hazards for sandy coasts with a Bayesian Network
Laurens Poelhekke,Wiebke S. Jäger,Ap van Dongeren,Theocharis A. Plomaritis,Robert McCall,Óscar Ferreira +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic Bayesian Network (BN) is proposed to predict the impact of a storm on sandy coast by using the hydraulic boundary conditions, characteristics of the coastal zone, and onshore hazards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishing storm thresholds for the spanish gulf of Cádiz coast
TL;DR: In this paper, critical thresholds for storm impacts along the Spanish coast of the Gulf of Cadiz were defined by computing theoretical sea-level variations during storms and comparing them with the topography of the study area and the location of infrastructure at a local level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal barrier stratigraphy for Holocene high-resolution sea-level reconstruction.
TL;DR: The stratigraphy of a sandy barrier is explored to identify the best sea-level indicators and provide a new sea- level reconstruction for the central Portuguese coast over the past 6.5 ka, showing good agreement with previous studies, including the Tagus isostatic model, with minor discrepancies that demand further improvement of regional models.
