Multi‐decadal coastline dynamics in Suriname controlled by migrating subtidal mudbanks

Abstract: For the development of climate-resilient coastal management strategies, which focus on challenges in the decades to come, it is critical to incorporate spatial and temporal variability of coastline changes. This is particularly true for the mud-dominated coastline of Suriname, part of the Guianas, where migrating subtidal mudbanks cause a cyclic instability of erosion and accretion of the coast that can be directly related to interbank and bank phases. The coastline hosts extensive mangrove forests, providing … Show more

“…Each mud bank can be up to 5 m thick, 10 to 60 km long, and 20 to 30 km wide (Gardel and Gratiot 2005) and can contain several times the annual mud supply of the Amazon (Anthony et al 2014). A bank migrating alongshore efficiently dissipates wave energy (Wells and Coleman 1981;Gratiot et al 2007;Winterwerp et al 2007;de Vries et al, 2022) and is separated from neighbouring banks by inter-bank areas where, in the absence of wave dissipation induced by mud banks, energetic incident waves can reach the coast and cause erosion.…”

“…Mudbanks are one of the major coastal morphological features that have a direct influence and close impact on dynamics in the coastal area (Lefebvre et al, 2004;Parvathy et al, 2015;de Vries et al, 2022;van Bijsterveldt et al, 2023). The river mouth shows the influence of the dynamics of sediments deposition and the processes organising the deposits (Cai et al, 2022;Gardel et al, 2022;Moyano-Paz et al, 2022;Estournel et al, 2023).…”
