Observations and modelling of nearshore sediment sorting processes along a barred beach profile

Sandy coastlines under threat of erosion

“…Beach profile responses to storms are simulated using the KD93 model, rather than with sophisticated process-based models that incorporate elaborate numerical methods and sediment transport modules [87][88][89][90][91][92][93] . Such models can potentially provide more accurate estimations of storm erosion (if they are well calibrated and validated), but require as input detailed topo-bathymetric and sediment grain size information that is not available at global scale.…”

Climate change impacts on critical international transportation assets of Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS): the case of Jamaica and Saint Lucia

“…Authors: We agree with the reviewer in all his statements about the importance of waves and many of the authors have substantial experience in monitoring and modelling nearshore wave processes (including wave run up), erosion and hazard in different environmental settings (Broekema et al, 2016;Schimmels et al, 2012;Vousdoukas, 2014;Vousdoukas et al, 2014;Vousdoukas et al, 2009a;Vousdoukas et al, 2009b;Velegrakis et al 2016). We also acknowledge that waves in flooded areas during an 4 extreme event can assault coastal transportation assets in a manner that these assets are not designed for (UNECE 2013).…”
