Morphodynamics and evolution of estuarine sandspits along the bight of benin coast, West Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the long-term morphodynamics and sandspit evolution of the Bight of Benin coast were analyzed using remotely sensed images acquired from 1984 to 2020, which revealed that the longshore sediment transport rates for this region are in the magnitude of 105-106 m3/year.

Global Sea Floor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship Depth Soundings
TL;DR: In this paper, a digital bathymetric map of the oceans with a horizontal resolution of 1 to 12 kilometers was derived by combining available depth soundings with high-resolution marine gravity information from the Geosat and ERS-1 spacecraft.

A third-generation wave model for coastal regions: 1. Model description and validation
TL;DR: In this article, a third-generation numerical wave model to compute random, short-crested waves in coastal regions with shallow water and ambient currents (Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)) has been developed, implemented, and validated.

Longshore sand transport on beaches
Paul D. Komar,Douglas L. Inman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the time history of the center of gravity of sand tracer to predict the longshore transport rate of sand and found that the coherence of the models appeared to be based on the generation of longshore currents by the long-shore radiation stress.

Alongshore sediment transport rate
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of alongshore sediment transport rate based on three-dimensional hydraulic model experiments performed with regular and irregular waves is described, and an expression is developed linking sediment transport rates to wave steepness, beach slope, relative grain size, and breaking angle.
