Effects of Beach Nourishment on Equilibrium Profile and Depth of Closure
Publication: Coastal Dynamics '01
Abstract
Beach nourishment introduces an abrupt perturbation to nearshore morphology. With time a readjustment of the profile to a quasi-equilibrium occurs. Characteristics of the placed sand, however, are often significantly different than the native material causing a change in morphology over greater time scales. Based on field data from various sources, this study investigates morphodynamic changes experienced by nourishment projects. In particular, theoretical changes in the equilibrium profile due to grain size are compared to field observations of profile change over time.
