Influence of inherited geologic framework on barrier shoreface morphology and dynamics
TLDR
In this article, a geologic framework of older stratigraphic units that occur beneath and seaward of the shoreface is presented to model the large-scale behavior of these types of coastal systems.About:

Sea-level rise and shoreline retreat: time to abandon the Bruun Rule
TL;DR: The Bruun Rule has no power for predicting shoreline behaviour under rising sea level and should be abandoned as mentioned in this paper. But, despite the lack of understanding, many appraisals have been undertaken that employ a concept known as the "Bruun Rule" and many studies disprove it in the field.

Controls on coastal dune morphology, shoreline erosion and barrier island response to extreme storms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the alongshore variation in dune morphology along a 11 km stretch of Santa Rosa Island in northwest Florida and related the variation in morphology to the response of the island during Hurricane Ivan and historic and storm-related rates of shoreline erosion.

High‐angle wave instability and emergent shoreline shapes: 1. Modeling of sand waves, flying spits, and capes
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-contour-line numerical model was proposed to study the effect of high-angle wave angles on plan view coastal evolution, showing that a predominance of highangle waves can cause a shoreline to self-organize into regular, quasiperiodic shapes similar to those found along many natural coasts at scales ranging from kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.

A simple model for the spatially-variable coastal response to hurricanes
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model that defines the coastal response based on these elevations was used to hindcast the potential impact regime along a 50-km stretch of the North Carolina coast to the landfalls of Hurricane Bonnie on August 27, 1998, and Hurricane Floyd on September 16, 1999.

Depositional history of estuarine infill during the last postglacial transgression (Gulf of Cadiz, Southern Spain)
Cristino J. Dabrio,Cari Zazo,José Luis Goy,Francisco Javier Sierro,Francisco Borja,Javier Lario,José Ángel González,José A. Flores +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Late Pleistocene and Holocene evolution of the estuaries in the Gulf of Cadiz is interpreted for the first time using radiocarbon data, and the results compared with the shelf.

Sedimentary Facies Patterns and Geologic History of a Holocene Marine Transgression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the thickness and areal extent of the sedimentary bodies are to a large degree controlled by the morphology of the Pleistocene unconformity, which may lead to considerable confusion in the interpretation of sediments of this type in the geologic record.

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.
