Decadal-scale morphologic variability of managed coastal dunes

Downwind effects on an arid dunefield from an evolving urbanised area

“…El Banna and Frihy, 2009;Kiss et al, 2009;Bochev-van der Burgh et al, 2011;Jackson and Nordstrom, 2011). The main consequential impacts in these systems appear to be from changes in land use (Kutiel et al, 2004;Levin and Ben-Dor, 2004;Buynevich et al, 2007Buynevich et al, , 2010 and recreational activities (Andersen, 1995;Sherman and Nordstrom, 1994;Kutiel, 2001;Lemauviel and Rozé, 2003;Talora et al, 2007;Cabrera-Vega et al, 2013a).…”

Vegetation and sedimentation on coastal foredunes

“…The dune foot is defined as the most seaward point where elevation is below + 3 m NAP (NAP is the Dutch ordnance datum, and lies approximately at mean sea level). In this study area, this is generally the same as the height at which there is a change in slope, separating the backshore from the foredune (Bochev-van der Burgh et al, 2011;De Jong et al, 2014;Ruessink and Jeuken, 2002). The dune crest is defined as the highest point within 50 m of the dune foot, which makes sure the crest is set at the foremost established dune ridge and avoids other local maxima being designated as crest.…”

“…Profiles are 200 m apart longshore and elevation is given every 5 m cross-shore at fixed positions. The dataset has been used in several studies on beach and dune morphodynamics (Arens and Wiersma, 1994;Bochev-van der Burgh et al, 2011;De Jong et al, 2014;De Vries et al, 2012). This study uses elevation data from 2002 to 2012 from Ameland, which are derived from LiDAR measurements.…”

Temporal and spatial variability in event scale aeolian transport on Ameland, The Netherlands

“…9. As an inland border, the 3 m +NAP was taken as the point where the profile slope changes significantly [80,13]. Given that the angle of wind approach increases the maximum fetch (F m ; m) [12], the total beach width in the direction of wind approach was then calculated (Eq.…”
