Sandy Beach Macrofauna of Yucatán State (Mexico) and Oil Industry Development in the Gulf of Mexico: First Approach for Detecting Environmental Impacts
Edlin Guerra-Castro,Gema Hidalgo,Raúl E. Castillo-Cupul,María Muciño-Reyes,Elsa Noreña-Barroso,Jaime Quiroz-Deaquino,Maite Mascaró,Nuno Simoes,Nuno Simoes +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors implemented the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network Pole to Pole sampling protocol to quantify the spatial patterns of diversity of macrofauna along the beaches; quantify current levels of pollution by hydrocarbons (aromatic and aliphatic); and estimate sampling effort for future environmental impact assessments.

Mechanisms and timescales of beach rotation
Carlos Loureiro,Óscar Ferreira +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple definition of beach rotation is presented, which is the opposing movement of the shoreline along the two ends of an embayed beach, driven by longshore and/or cross-shore sediment transport in response to seasonal or periodic changes in wave direction and gradients in wave energy.

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.

The spatial and temporal variability of sand bar morphology
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal variability of nearshore sand bar morphology is quantified using a unique data set spanning 2 years, which consists of daily time exposure images of incident wave breaking on an open coast sandy beach which may be used to infer bar morphology.
