“…Previous studies show that coastal dune formation has been linked to sea-level change (Tamura et al, 2011b;Zazo et al, 2008), sand supply (Zheng et al, 2021), and climate change (Aagaard et al, 2007;Hu et al, 2022). According to the dating results from the LA site and JL site, the dune sediment mainly accumulated in periods of >28-21 ka, 14-4 ka, and the last 3 ka (Figure 7E; Section 4.3.1).…”

“…influences coastal dune sediment accumulations in South China (Hu et al, 2022), Australia (Tamura et al, 2018), and North America (Harris and Ellis, 2021). In Hainan Island, sediment records and historical documents show that storms have frequently hit southeastern Hainan Island over the past few thousand years (Zhou et al, 2019a;Zhou et al, 2019b), which are not only generated from the western Pacific but also from the SCS.…”

“…Based on coastal dune deposits, reconstruction of paleoenvironment change and sea level changes have been studied in various coastal areas including those in southeastern Australia (Ashkenazy et al, 2012;Tamura et al, 2020), America (Wolfe et al, 2011;Robin et al, 2021), Denmark (Clemmensen et al, 2012;Clemmensen et al, 2014), the Mediterranean (Zazo et al, 2008;Bardajı́et al, 2009), Japan (Tamura et al, 2011a, b), and South China (Jin et al, 2022). These findings improved our understanding of past changes in atmospheric circulation and sea level changes (Searle and Woods, 1986;Tamura et al, 2011a;Tamura et al, 2011b;Clemmensen et al, 2014;Hu et al, 2022;Jin et al, 2022). However, there are few such studies of the effects of storms on coastal dune evolution in the tropical coastal zone, especially on the South China Coast (e.g.…”

Coastal dune sediments and landforms offer a unique opportunity to understand climate change and sea level change on the centennial-millennial time scale. However, there is a paucity of chronological studies on the effects of storms on the evolution of coastal dunes along the temperate coastline of China. In this study, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of sand dunes was conducted to investigate the process and mechanism of coastal dune evolution on the southeastern coast of Hainan Island, China. The results show that the coastal dune evolution experienced three rapid accumulation periods: 28-21 ka, 14-4 ka, and 3.0 ka-present. The three rapid accumulation periods correspond to the last glacial maximum, the late Pleistocene/early-mid Holocene, and the late Holocene climatic dry-cold period, respectively. Sea level change and the East Asian winter monsoon, in conjunction with the enhanced storminess, play a key role in driving the sand dune evolution on the south-eastern coast of Hainan Island. These findings are of great significance for regional planning and coastal defense schemes.
