Abstract:
When erosion occurs, sandy beach cannot maintain the sufficient sand width and the foreshore slope becomes steeper by the frequent erosion effect. As a result, the beach is trapped in a vicious circle of becoming vulnerable by the incident waves. In order to repair or protect the erosive beach, beach nourishment can be used as a countermeasure while minimizing the environmental impacts. However, beach nourishment is not a permanent solution and requires periodic renourishment after several years. To alleviate such problem, minimizing the period of renourishment must be an economical alternative. In that respect, selecting the optimum grain size of the sand for the beach nourishment is very important. Generally, larger grain sized sand is more resistant to the erosion, thus extending the period of renourishment. In addition to selecting the optimum grain size of the sand nourishment, determining the durability as well as maintaining the familiarity of the users of the native sand should be considered.

Abstract:
Coastal erosion is controlled by two sets of factors, one related to storm intensity and the other related to a location’s vulnerability. This study investigated the role of each set in controlling dune erosion based on data compiled for eighteen historical events in New Jersey. Here, storm intensity was characterized by the Storm Erosion Index (SEI) and Peak Erosion Intensity (PEI), factors used to describe a storm’s cumulative erosion potential and maximum erosive power, respectively. In this study, a direct relationship between these parameters, beach morphology characteristics, and expected dune response was established through a classification tree ensemble. Of the seven input parameters, PEI was the most important, indicating that peak storm conditions with time scales on the order of hours were the most critical in predicting dune impacts. Results suggested that PEI, alone, was successful in distinguishing between storms most likely to result in no impacts (PEI < 69) and those likely to result in some (PEI > 102), regardless of beach condition. For intensities in between, where no consistent behavior was observed, beach conditions must be considered. Because of the propensity for beach conditions to change over short spatial scales, it is important to predict impacts on a local scale. This study established a model with the computational effectiveness to provide such predictions.

Abstract:
Golden Beach in Taiwan is a sandy beach attracting many beachgoers because of its wide sandy beach and beautiful sunset. In recent years, this beach has been eroded. The cause of the beach erosion is considered to be due to the wave-sheltering effect of the Anping Harbor breakwaters constructed 4 km north of the beach. Now the restoration of sandy beach is underway by the construction of groins as well as beach nourishment using sand procured from the downcoast deposition area. This study aims to investigate the cause of the beach erosion of this beach to work out the effective measures against beach erosion.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods by which, and the extent to which the Federal Government participates with local agencies in the control of beach erosion. The Beach Erosion Board of the Corps of Engineers is the instrumentality through which this participation is affected. However, before describing this Board, it is necessary to sketch very briefly the background of the beach erosion problem as viewed from the national standpoint. The necessity for the control of beach erosion by one means or another has no doubt been recognized from the beginning of the practice of coastal engineering in the United States. The early technical records of the Corps of Engineers contain numerous references to the mutual effects which navigation structures and the adjacent shorelines exert upon each other. As an example, chosen at random, I may mention the construction in 1874 of twelve stone groins along the shore of the State of Connecticut between Welshs Point and Indian River, and of a stone jetty at the mouth of that river in the following year, to stabilize the shoreline and to prevent the movement of sand into the navigation channel of that river.

Abstract:
Abstract Tanjung Benoa Beach on Bali Island, a globally recognized coastal resort with well-developed coral reefs, is experiencing beach erosion. This study aimed to formulate measures against the beach erosion, with a quantitative analysis of the coastal mechanisms through field observations, aerial photographs, satellite images and bathymetric data. The results indicate that the beach erosion on Tanjung Benoa Beach has occurred over time due to the longshore sediment transport, although the rate reduced by a construction of a groin. Additionally, the eroded area can be considered as a closure system of sediment transport between two groins at both ends, where accumulation and erosion of sand occur simultaneously. Based on these results, sand back pass was proposed, and its implementation plan was examined through numerical calculations for three-dimensional beach topographic changes. The numerical calculation compared a case of beach nourishment alone to adding four groins, suggesting that beach nourishment without groins is more effective for achieving the target beach width, maintenance plan efficiency and the high demand for beach uses on Tanjung Benoa Beach. This plan represents one of the few instances of sand back pass in Indonesia and promotes sustainable solutions to beach erosion, balancing beach utilization and conservation.

Abstract:
The northern sector of Waihi Beach is an example of chronic erosive tendency. The sediment deficit along the area of beach fronting the seawall means that there is often no beach at high tide. This existing situation, and the various remedial options suggested, has created an emotive issue for beach residents. Accordingly, the current study was undertaken to identify and evaluate the fundamental coastal processes impacting upon the erosion at northern Waihi Beach. Methods used to investigate this problem included: beach profiling and shallow water hydrographic surveying; mapping of sediments and the distribution of bedforms on the inner shelf using side-scan sonar, identification of nearshore sediment transport pathways from sediment textural analyses; collection and analysis of nearshore wave and current data; and numerical modelling of wave refraction and sediment transport processes. A side-scan sonar survey, ground-truthed by surficial sediment analyses and underwater video and diver observations, indicated that the shallow inshore zone is characterised by a relatively featureless seabed dominated by fine sands. Large shore-normal sand ridges (η=0.4-2.5 m, λ=300-1400), with crests oriented northeast to southwest were identified between 15-30 m water depth offshore northern Waihi Beach. These very pronounced features consist of coarse megarippled (η≈0.12 m, λ≈1 m) sediment. Sediment textural analyses revealed that offshore sediments vary from fine to coarse sand, showing a seaward-coarsening progression. Beach sediments consist of predominantly fine sands, with a slight inferred fining in grain size that occurs towards the northern end of the beach. This is possibly a result of lower wave energy when subject to swell and sea waves from the north, due to sheltering in the lee of Rapitiotio Point. 80 days of wave and current data were collected offshore northern Waihi Beach, during two separate deployments in Nov/Dec 2007 and May/June 2008. The summer deployment was characterised by waves from a northeast-east origin (Hs=1.09m; Ts=7.13s). Similar conditions were exhibited during the winter deployment (Hs=0.95m; Ts=6.79s). Observed relationships between wind direction and near-bed current direction, combined with calculated sediment entrainment rates, enabled predictions of the frequency of shoreward sediment transport by bottom currents to be made. Onshore currents, associated with winds from the southwest, prevailed during the deployment period. However, observed current velocities alone were generally incapable of inducing sediment motion. Analysis suggests that wave properties are likely to govern the frequency of sediment transport in the nearshore, as their presence is required to lift sediment into suspension for dispersal by ambient background currents. Onshore movement of sediment was estimated to be ~11,800 m3/year or 2.6 m3/m. Monochromatic wave statistics measured during the field study were used to calibrate a numerical wave refraction model. The wave refraction influence of Mayor Island was found to be the major feature influencing the distribution of wave energy along the shoreline, which is likely to contribute to localised accelerated beach erosion and dune setback. Wave energy focusing at northern Waihi Beach is maximised by swell waves, resulting in greater wave heights along eroding sectors of the beach. Potential sediment transport rates were investigated. Results suggest the littoral drift direction was bi-directional at northern Waihi Beach, although net littoral drift was southeasterly during the study period. An estimated net loss of 46,200 m3/year or 10.3 m3/m was predicted for northern Waihi Beach during the present study. Longer-term drift patterns were examined using a five year record of wave data collected offshore Pukehina by Environment Bay or Plenty from 2003-2008. Similar patterns but with lower magnitudes of sediment transport were obtained, with net annual drift rates estimated to range from 1,300-58,000 m3/year. A conceptual model of nearshore sediment dynamics is proposed for Waihi Beach to identify the major factors contributing to long-term erosion in the northern sector. Approximately 115,000 m3 of sediment was estimated to be moving within the defined northern Waihi Beach littoral cell during the study period. The derived sediment budget produced a net deficit of sediment of approximately 36,000 m3/year or -8 m3/year during the year commencing November 2007. The net southeasterly littoral drift was determined the major contributor to the net erosion rate during the study period, with alongshore transport rates exceeding available supply to the beach from diabathic movement of sediment onshore. Several aspects of the erosion problem at northern Waihi Beach are recommended to be researched further to identify what coastal management options are required.

Abstract:
Complex relationships exist among offshore conditions, beach sediment transport and morphology, and till cliff erosion. Modelled and measured sediment transport rates established for the Holderness coast are similar to those on comparable coasts elsewhere. The direction of sediment drift depends on wave approach, and determining sediment transport rates, cliff composition and cliff retreat rates allows a sediment budget to be prepared. The beach response predicted by the sediment budget was confirmed by field observations, with budget surpluses and deficits coinciding with full and depleted beach profiles respectively. The area of deficit in the north of the study area was associated with the reduced sheltering effect of Flamborough Head on sediment drift. At most profiles, especially those with a sediment deficit, high energy waves may remove the sand veneer completely, leaving the till platform exposed. These bare till patches which elsewhere have been called ords and have been regarded as unique, were thought, in the present study,to represent a normal beach response to limited sediment supply and prevailing offshore conditions. Beach evolution was also modelled formally, the range of beach profiles exhibited on the Holderness coast being grouped into a number of distinct types, and evolution among them described and predicted by a first-order Markov model. This can be refined to provide different models for "winter" and "summer". Different modal types occur at different locations, and certain types of transitions between classes can be associated with particular ranges of wave conditions. Beach Development, Sediment Budget and Coastal Erosion at Holderness Susan J. Mason. Till cliff retreat at Holderness is extremely variable, both spatially and temporally, being influenced by beach level, energy conditions, cliff moisture content and the actions of man. The sediment transport rates, cliff retreat data, sediment budget and beach behaviour model are all essential elements of a research programme currently being undertaken to find a cheap method of protecting this coast.

Abstract:
Sandy beaches are vulnerable to extreme erosion during large storms, as well as gradual erosion processes over months and years. Without monitoring and adaptation strategies, erosion can put people, homes, and other infrastructure at risk. To effectively manage beach resources and respond to erosion hazards, coastal managers must have a reliable means of surveying the beach to monitor erosion and accretion. These elevation surveys typically incorporate traditional ground-based surveying methods or lidar surveys flown from large, fixed-wing aircraft. While both strategies are effective, advancements in photogrammetric technology offers a new solution for topographic surveying: Structure from Motion (SfM). Using a set of overlapping aerial photographs, the SfM workflow can generate accurate topographic surveys, and promises to provide a fast, inexpensive, and reliable method for routine beach surveying. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are often successfully employed for SfM surveys but can be limited by poor weather ad government regulations, which can make flying difficult or impossible. To circumvent these limitations, a digital camera can be attached to a tall pole on a mobile platform to obtain aerial imagery, avoiding the restrictions of UAV flight. This thesis compares these two techniques of image acquisition for routine beach monitoring. Three surveys were conducted at monthly intervals on a beach on the central South Carolina coast, using both UAV and pole photogrammetry. While both methods use the same software and photogrammetric workflow, the UAV produced better results with far fewer processing artifacts compared to pole photogrammetry.
Master of Science
Beach environments are vulnerable to extreme erosion, especially in the face of sea level rise and large storms like hurricanes. Monitoring erosion is a crucial part of a coastal management strategy, to mitigate risk to coastal hazards like extreme erosion, storm surge, and flooding. Erosion monitoring usually involves repeated elevation surveys to determine how much sand is being lost from the beach, and where that sand is being eroded away. Within the past decade, Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry, the process of deriving ground elevation maps from multiple overlapping aerial photographs, has become a common technique for repeated elevation surveys. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are often used to gather aerial imagery for SfM elevation surveys but are limited by poor weather conditions and government flight regulations, both of which can prohibit flight. However, similar aerial photographs can be taken with a camera mounted atop a tall pole, which can be used in wider range of weather conditions and without government regulations, providing an alternative when UAV flight is not an option. This study compares these two platforms for routine beach erosion monitoring surveys, evaluating them based on performance, cost, and feasibility. The UAV system is found to be fast, affordable, and effective, while the pole photogrammetry system is heavily affected by the slow speed of surveying and processing errors that make it unusable without significant improvement.

Abstract:
Motunau Beach is situated upon a small coastal promontory which is approximately 3 km in length. Around this promontory a complex of coastal processes are interacting. In the past there has been concern for people s property due to eroding sandstone cliffs. In response to the erosion hazard piecemeal structural solutions have been sought; however, due to their short longevity have proved inadequate. Based on regular shoreline profiling and observations in conjunction with a broad international literature base, the processes of wave refraction, cliff erosion, river mouth dynamics, and sand beach adjustment have been discussed. Sediment transport pathways have been inferred based upon the natural and human processes around the promontory and the morphological response since the 1950s. To analyse the coastal processes and morphological change at Motunau Beach a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used. The field study period of three months, July to September 2009, has focussed on the shortduration and high-frequency processes of change and nested within a broader context of coastal change since the 1950s. Initial results suggest that between the years 1950 to 1968 there was a loss of beach width on Sandy Bay of approximately 25 m. This was then followed by an increased rate of cliff erosion during the 1980s. Analysis of historical hindcast wave data since 1979 suggests the wave climate at Motunau is not distinctive from the rest of the east coast; however, the processes of wave refraction within the nearshore create a turbulent and dynamic nearshore wave environment which has implications on shoreline morphology. Results from this study indicate that nearshore sediment supplies are being exhausted by a increasing wave height of approximately 4 mm yr-1 since 1979. The turbulent wave environment of the nearshore zone at Motunau Beach is encouraging the offshore transfer of nearshore sediment supplies to a depth beyond the reworking of waves during swell condition. This has obvious implications for the long-term shoreline morphology at Motunau and shoreline protection from highintensity low frequency wave events.

Geological and geomorphological were conducted over nine-month period to investigate the relationship between the banquette removal and sediment loss. The results indicate that the continuous removal of sediment-laden posidonia banquette may cause a deficit in the beach sediment budget, the effects of which may not become apparent until several-year delay.

Abstract:
Sandy coastal areas (including coastal dunes, beaches, and submerged intertidal and nearshore areas) are naturally dynamic ecosystems. These areas experience accretion, erosion, dune and island migration, overwash, and other processes as sediments are transported by the wind, waves, tides, and currents. If these natural physical processes are disrupted, the beach ecosystem may transform, become unstable, or disappear completely over time. Human development of coastal areas, sea level rise, and increasing frequency and intensity of coastal storms are examples of coastal change that interfere with sediment transport and therefore threaten the stability of coastal ecosystems. Beach nourishment is a nature-based engineering strategy that artificially delivers sand (a size of sediment) to a coastal ecosystem to lessen the disruption of sediment supply. Generally, beach nourishment is intended to mitigate erosion, protect infrastructure and buildings, and/or to restore habitat. The National Park Service (NPS) has produced an updated guidance manual that provides a consistent approach to beach nourishment based on sound coastal science and engineering. The goal of this updated guidance is to provide information on this method to protect and preserve the beaches and associated resources of the National Park System.

Abstract:
This report documents a numerical modeling investigation for dredged material from nearshore borrow areas and placed on Folly Beach adjacent to Stono Inlet, South Carolina. Historical and newly collected wave and hydrodynamic data around the inlet were assembled and analyzed. The datasets were used to calibrate and validate a coastal wave, hydrodynamic and sediment transport model, the Coastal Modeling System. Sediment transport and morphology changes within and around the immediate vicinity of the Stono Inlet estuarine system, including sand borrow areas and nearshore Folly Beach area, were evaluated. Results of model simulations show that sand removal in the borrow areas increases material backfilling, which is more significant in the nearshore than the offshore borrow areas. In the nearshore Folly Beach area, the dominant flow and sediment transport directions are from the northeast to the southwest. Net sediment gain occurs in the central and southwest sections while net sediment loss occurs in the northeast section of Folly Island. A storm and a 1-year simulation developed for the study produce a similar pattern of morphology changes, and erosion and deposition around the borrow areas and the nearshore Folly Beach area.
