Many sand spits are morphodynamically complex landforms, that are either analysed with complex and expensive computational models or at a conceptual level. Therefore, most case studies on spits in different environments are descriptive. A novel method based on the use of polar ...
Sandy beaches in low-energy, non-tidal environments
Unraveling and predicting morphodynamics
Longshore sediment transport by large-scale lake circulations at low-energy, non-tidal beaches
A field and model study
Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject to longshore morphodynamics, but little is known about how they are driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer is a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km2. A gradien ...
Sandy beaches in low-energy, non-tidal environments
Linking morphological development to hydrodynamic forcing
The morphodynamic behaviour of low-energy beaches is poorly understood, compared to that of exposed coasts. This study analyses the morphological development of sandy, low-energy beaches and the steering hydrodynamic processes. Four densely-monitored study sites in the non-tid ...
