Determination and Prediction of Sediment Yields from Recession of the Holderness Coast

A 150-year record of coastline dynamics within a sediment cell: Eastern England

“…Posford Duvivier (1992) modeled the wave-604 driven littoral drift at Easington (including both sediments being transported from the 605 northern cliffs and input from Easington itself) and predicted a southward longshore sandtransport of 157-310×10 3 m 3 year -1 from this area. Easington marks the point at which the 607 southwards travelling sand derived from erosion along the total length of the cliffs moves 608 offshore (Halcrow and Geosea, 1990), although the precise transport pathways of eroded 609 sediments will depend on their mineralogy and grain size (Newsham et al, 2002). This 610 offshore transport is a result of a combination of the change in both the orientation of the 611 coast and the direction of the tidal currents at this point.…”

Mesoscale evolution of a headland bay: Beach rotation processes

“…Long-term beach change rates are traditionally estimated by analysing aerial photographs, historic maps and various forms of topographic survey techniques (Zhang et al, 2002;Sorensen, 2006). Coastal researchers use variations of a similar theme with some success, for example Morton et al (1993), Galgano et al (1998), Granja and Carvalho (2000), Dobroniak and Anthony (2002), Newsham et al (2002), Havikowa and Isobe (2006) and Esteves et al (2002Esteves et al ( , 2006. A fundamental consideration for shoreline change mapping is the chosen indicator, and an ideal shoreline position indicator should be easily identified both in the field and from aerial photographs (Zhang et al, 2002;Leatherman, 2003;Parker, 2003).…”

Identifying the behavioural characteristics of clay cliffs using intensive monitoring and geotechnical numerical modelling

“…A review of the literature identifies a variety of techniques to monitor change at the coast, including terrestrial point measurements (Valentin, 1971;Pethick, 1996); differential GPS (dGPS) (Esteves et al, 2002;Dillenburg et al, 2004); terrestrial/airborne laser scanning (TLS/ ALS) (Adams and Chandler, 2002;White and Wang, 2003;Young et al, 2009); satellite imagery (White and El Asmar, 1999;Wu, 2007); photogrammetry (Baily and Nowell, 1996;Newsham et al, 2003); synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (Lee and Jurkevich, 1990;Souza-Filho and Paradella, 2003); map evidence Drake and Phipps, 2007); and combined approaches using a variety of the above Mills et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2007). The results of these surveys are ultimately intended to help predict future cliff locations and contribute to coastal management.…”
