“…The influences of decadal lake-level variations on Great Lakes coastal processes and shoreline evolution are previously discussed for bluff (Carter and Guy, 1988;Amin and Davidson-Arnott, 1995;Guy, 1999;Foyle and Naber, 2012;Castedo et al, 2013) and beach environments Law, 1990, 1996;Mattheus, 2014). These studies are in general agreement over lake levels acting as a primary control on the degree of coastal inundation, which factors into extents of wave run-up during storm events and determines erosive focal points.…”

Barrier systems have received much attention along microtidal oceanic coastlines, where countless studies discuss their evolution in response to Holocene sea‐level rise, storm influence, and anthropogenic impacts. Lacustrine barrier evolution is not as well investigated and little is known about how lake‐specific hydrodynamic processes shape barrier morphology. This study evaluates the evolution of a highly dynamic barrier section along eastern Lake Ontario in the context of varying water levels and winter‐ice covers. Paleoshoreline reconstructions and volumetric analyses of nearshore sedimentation indicate the central portion of the studied North Pond barrier has been breached many times in different locations throughout the last century. Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) data corroborate mapped locations of former inlets, bound at the surface by recurved spit and dune ridges. Subsurface structural controls on inlet position are inferred from a spatial correlation with buried incised fluvial channels, formed during a Holocene lake‐level lowstand. While subsurface controls caused two separate historical inlets to remain stationary while open, an episode of rapid inlet migration elsewhere along the barrier was facilitated by the prevailing direction of coastal currents and high lake levels, which favored overwash and rapid longshore sediment mobility across a low‐gradient barrier section. Additionally, the sudden closing of an inlet after many decades of operation coincidental with the opening of another suggestively occurred alongside unusually high lake levels. These correlations suggest the degree of coastal inundation, predominantly a function of fluctuating lake levels and antecedent topography, represent strong controls on overall barrier geomorphology over decadal timescales.

“…Global warming and climate changeinduced forces such as storm surges and sea-level rise are introduced as an additional layer to the complexity of coastal vulnerability [3]. These climatic forces are related to many codependent parameters and covariant forces impacting the generation, flow, and distribution of sediments across the coastal systems of lakes [4]. Moreover, anthropogenic interventions affect the natural dynamic processes of coastal ecosystems, causing the coastline to be more vulnerable to any stressors [5].…”

Climate change-driven forces and anthropogenic interventions have led to considerable changes in coastal zones and shoreline positions, resulting in coastal erosion or sedimentation. Shoreline change detection through cost-effective methods and easy-access data plays a key role in coastal management, where other effective parameters such as land-use/land-cover (LULC) change should be considered. This paper presents a remotely sensed shoreline monitoring in Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, from 1984 to 2021. The CoastSat toolkit for Python and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network classifier were used for shoreline detection, and an unsupervised change detection framework followed by a postclassification change detection method was implemented for LULC classification and change detection. The study assessed the recent coastal erosion and accretion trends in the region in association with spatiotemporal changes in the total area of the West and East Lakes, the transition between LULC classes, extreme climate events, population growth, and future climate projection scenarios. The results of the study illustrate that the accretion trend apparently can be seen in most parts of the study area since 1984 and is affected by several factors, including lake water-level changes, total annual precipitations, sand movements, and other hydrologic/climatic parameters. Furthermore, the observed LULC changes could be in line with climate change-driven forces and population growth to accelerate the detected accretion trend in the East and West Lakes. In total, the synergistic interaction of the investigated parameters would result in a greater accretion trend along with a lower groundwater table amid even a low carbon scenario. The discussed findings could be beneficial to regional/provincial authorities, policymakers, and environmental advocates for the sustainable development of coastal communities.

“…Many scholars have been studying on vertical distribution of flow velocity and a variety of formulae are brought forward, such as Prandtl who put forward a logarithmic one by establishing the theory of mixing length [6], Monin [5], Taylor [13], Schauer [8], Soulsby [11] , Mattheus [10] and Song Zhiyao [9] who improved Prandtl formula and Karman and Prandtl [13] who proposed an exponential one by dimensional analysis. And Kumbhakar M [3], Xiao Qianlu [16], Jakubowski [15] and He Bingqu [2] also did several studies on it.…”

Vertical Distribution of Nearshore Flow Velocity

In this paper, a new exponential formed vertical distribution of nearshore flow velocity is constructed, which is simpler in form and more suitable for engineering application. The physical meaning of the new formula is more specific than that of Soulsby. Compared with those logarithmic formed ones, the new one does not need the maximum velocity and only needs the mean velocity in vertical, which gives it better engineering practicability. Apply the new formula to
