Coastal models enhance understanding of future flooding frequency on atoll islands, paving the way to explore the limits of adaptation in the face of rising sea levels and climate change.

Coastal landforms are created through processes such as erosion and deposition. Erosion happens when waves wear away the land. Different types of erosion include hydraulic action where the force ...

dunes of various size and morphology are formed (for processes on aeolian transports see Sloss et al. this issue). Sand deposition, accretion, and erosion within the coastal environment result in ...

Waves, tide, and wind dominate coastal processes and landforms. Rivers deliver sediment to the coast, where it can be reworked to form deltas, beaches, dunes, and barrier islands. The coastal zone ...

33. Explain the benefits and drawbacks of groins; make a sketch showing the interaction between the longshore current (and = drift) and groins; discuss where erosion and deposition takes place.
