The size and morphology of coastal dunes is dependent on the complex interaction between controlling winds, sediment supply, and the geomorphology of the nearshore and beach environment.

Aa Aa Aa For large-scale coastal dune development there needs to be a suitable wind regime, large reserves of sand and suitable nearshore, beach and back beach morphology (Pye 1983, Iversen ...

On inner continental shelves, a variety of coarse grained bedforms, such as gravel dunes, are shaped by hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The formation and evolution of bedforms reflect a ...

One of the most direct ways to measure dune migration rates and patterns is to observe and record them in the field. This can be done by using various techniques, such as aerial photography ...

While simple in structure, sand fences can have a significant impact on dune morphology and ecology, possibly affecting the dune in ways beyond the intended outcome. Some large sand fence systems, ...
