Modelling the response of soft cliffs to climate change: a statistical, process-response model using accumulated excess energy

TL;DR: In this article, a new statistical, process-response model of soft cliff erosion is proposed, based on the premise that wave energy delivered to the cliff toe is the key parameter forcing erosion.

Application of airborne LiDAR to investigate rates of recession in rocky coast environments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data to gain a quantitative understanding of cliff erosion along rocky coastline where recession rates are relatively low (c. 0.1m/yr−1).

Influences of Wave Climate and Sea Level on Shoreline Erosion Rates in the Maryland Chesapeake Bay

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated spatial correlations between wave forcing, sea level fluctuations, and shoreline erosion in the Maryland Chesapeake Bay (CB), in an attempt to identify the most important relationships and their spatial patterns.

Effects of varied lithology on soft-cliff recession rates

TL;DR: In this paper, modifications to the 2D SCAPE (Soft Cliff and Platform Erosion) model were carried out to explore such interactions between vertical changes in cliff resistive strength and prevailing coastal conditions.

Friction Factor under Oscillatory Waves

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between wave parameters and bottom friction and shear stresses is investigated in an oscillating water tunnel to determine the relationships between wave parameter and resulting bottom friction, and the results are compared with existing semitheoretical expressions.

Sea cliffs: Their processes, profiles, and classification

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the concavity or convexity of sea cliff profiles is controlled by relative rates of erosion by marine and subaerial processes, as well as positions of more resistant strata in the cliffs.

Recession Rate of Glacial Till Bluffs

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between waves and recession rate of cohesive bluff shorelines consisting of glacial till is explained in physical terms as a function of wave-foreshore interaction.
