Laboratory investigation of the Bruun Rule and beach response to sea level rise

Rising sea levels are expected to cause widespread coastal recession over the course of the next century. In this work, new insight into the response of sandy beaches to sea level rise is obtained through a series of compre- hensive experiments using …

Physical model study of beach profile evolution by sea level rise in the presence of seawalls

Persistent and accelerating sea level rise (SLR) may have a significant impact on the evolution of sandy coastlines this Century. The response of natural sandy beaches to SLR has been much discussed in the literature, however there is a lack of …
