TLDR
In this paper, a morphological model capable of predicting the beach profile behavior under different wave and tide conditions is proposed based on the concept of the two-section equilibrium beach profile, and has been validated with field and laboratory data.About:

Management of Uncertainty in Predicting Climate-Change Impacts on Beaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used stochastic simulation to manage uncertainty in long-term coastal change models, including open sediment budgets, time-dependent morphology, effects of mixed sediment sizes, and variable resistance in substrate material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recognition of wave-dominated, tide-influenced shoreline systems in the rock record: Variations from a microtidal shoreline model
TL;DR: In this article, an ancient example of a wave-dominated, tide-influenced, fluvial-affected system (Wtf) from the Campanian Bearpaw to Horseshoe Canyon Formation transition near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, was described in closely spaced outcrop exposures and core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical modeling of intermediate cross-shore beach morphology: transients and equilibrium states
TL;DR: In this article, a lightweight sediment model is used in order to fulfill a Shields number and Rouse number scaling, which aims at correctly reproducing bed load transport as well as suspension dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-weekly to interannual variability of a high-energy shoreline
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical orthogonal function (EOF)-based decomposition technique is developed that is capable of estimating the shoreline position to within one standard deviation of the range of shoreline positions observed at most locations along the beach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation, exposure, and evolution of a high-latitude beachrock in the intertidal zone of the Corrubedo complex (Ria de Arousa, Galicia, NW Spain)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the petrological characterization and sedimentological evolution of a beachrock that was exhumed during an exceptional storm in the winter of 2001 in the intertidal zone of a high-energy beach.

Morphodynamic variability of surf zones and beaches: A synthesis
L.D Wright,Andrew D. Short +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of some results obtained over the period 1979-1982 from a study of beach and surf zone dynamics is presented, dealing with the different natural beach states, the process signatures associated with these states, environmental controls on modal beach state, and the temporal variability of beach state and beach profiles.

Equilibrium Beach Profiles: Characteristics and Applications
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sea level change and arbitrary wave height on equilibrium beach profiles is investigated. But, the authors focus on the equilibrium profile form and do not consider the impact of other parameters, such as sediment size, sediment characteristics, and berm height.

The Effect of Tide Range on Beach Morphodynamics and Morphology: A Conceptual Beach Model
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model is presented in which beach morphology (beach type) may be predicted using the dimensionless fall velocity and the relative tide range, whereby the mean spring tide range (MSR) is used to calculate the relative time series.
