Convexity, Concavity, and Human Agency in Large-scale Coastline Evolution
… and hydrological forces. For large-scale, sandy coastlines, these shapes depend on wave climate forcing. The wave climate is influenced by storm patterns, which are expected to change with the warming climate, and the associated changes in coastline shape are likely to increase rates of shoreline …

Beach and sea-cliff dynamics as a driver of long-term rocky coastline evolution and stability
Rocky coastlines, with wave-battered headlands interspersed with calm sandy beaches, stir imaginations and aesthetic sensibilities the way few other landscapes do. Despite their prevalence (sea cliffs or bluffs are present along nearly 75% of the world’s oceanic coastlines), we know very little …

Relative sea level, sediment supply and barrier dynamics as driving mechanisms of Holocene coastal change.
… interests. Improving understanding of coastline evolution in the past, using the Holocene record of geomorphological change preserved within coastal stratigraphy, is one way to improving understanding of coastal evolution and coastal response to climate and geomorphic change. This …
