Controls of variability in berm and dune storm erosion

The erosion impact of large coastal storm events typically occurs across broad (100s of km) sections of coastline and may include significant variability both alongshore and vertically between the berm and dunes. Identifying controls of variability …

pybeach: A Python package for extracting the location of dune toes on beach profile transects

Sandy coastlines typically comprise two key parts; a beach and dune. The beach is the section of sandy coast that is mostly above water (depending upon tide) and actively influenced by waves, while dunes are elevated mounds/ridges of sand at the back …

Ensemble models from machine learning: an example of wave runup and coastal dune erosion

After decades of study and significant data collection of time-varying swash on sandy beaches, there is no single deterministic prediction scheme for wave runup that eliminates prediction error – even bespoke, locally tuned predictors present scatter …
