3Y A SEDIMENT CIRCULATION IN MIXED GRAVEL AND SHINGLE BAYHEAD BEACHES ON THE SOUTH EAST DORSET COAST Carolyn Heeps, B. Sc.

In Collaboration with the University of Wales, Institute of Science and Technology, Cardiff, Department of Maritime Studies. April, 1986. DORSETINSTITUTE' Of H!GI EREDUCATION LIBRARY SEDIMENT CIRCULATION III-=ED G HINGLE BAYHEAD BEACHES ON THE SOUTH EAST DORSET COAST Carolyn Heeps ABSTRACT This thesis investigates and attempts to clarify the morphological characteristics, processes and sedimentology of five local mixed gravel and shingle beaches. A conceptual framework of process- response has been adopted which considers energy inputs, sediment transport and coastal morphology, under conditions of limited sediment supply and a "closed cell" situation. Onshore field investigations using conventional methods of surface sediment sampling, together with beach profiling, platform and cliff measurements provided quantitative data with respect to contemporary sediment inputs, sediment characteristics and trans- port. Extensive and intensive measurements of beach sections described spatial and temporal morphological and volumetric change and revealed a neutral sediment budget at the scale of 12-14 months. The beaches are in equilibrium with prevailing and dominant south westerly wave regimes; prolonged periods of south easterly wave climates influence the foci of wave energy and cause significant littoral drift and exposure of the chalk platform. The offshore data used were derived from available sources and supplemented by fieldwork by the author. Investigations in the nearshore zone by side-scan sonar and echosounder revealed the morphological and sedimentological nature of the seafloor along the northern shore of Weymouth Bay. Sediment distribution and bedforms suggested preferred sediment transport paths. Within each bay sediment sampling by grab and/or divers elucidated the nature of each sediment cell. The distinct differences of textural composition and the presence of natural offshore barriers to sediment movement highlighted the sedimentological/morphological containment of each bayhead unit. Theoretical considerations and field data have helped to gain a better understanding of the relationship between cliff, beach, platform and nearshore processes and illustrate that selected embayments along the northern shore of Weymouth Bay are morpho- logically contained sediment cells sharing the same hydrodynamic system. It I declare that while registered as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy I have not been registered for another award of the Council for National Academic Awards or of a University during the research programme, nor has any of the material contained within this thesis been submitted for any other award.

    The Dorset Heath 2013 So Once Again You Have Me As Editor

    NewsletterThe ofD theo Dorsetrset Flora H eGroupath 201 4 Chairman and VC9 Recorder Robin Walls; Secretary Laurence Taylor Editorial: John Newbould It would appear that the group had no complaints about the layout and content of the Dorset Heath 2013 so once again you have me as editor. The year was somewhat difficult for me as somehow, whenever I had to leave the room in Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union committee meetings in 2011, they managed to appoint me President for 2013 resulting in extra commitments in that county. During April 2013, Dorset hosted the National Forum for Biological Recording’s annual conference at the R.N.L.I. College at Poole. What a fabulous conference venue and the overnight accommodation was excellent. NFBR then joined Dorset naturalists with a joint meeting based at Studland helping to survey for the Cyril Diver project. Once again, duties took me away as I seem to be the conference administrator. The Flora Group had an interesting year, with variable numbers at field meetings. Never-the-less some important recording has been achieved including members engaging with recording bryophytes for the first time, one meeting to record fungi near Hardy’s Cottage, which thanks to the expertise of Bryan Edwards was very successful. We also had a few members try their hand at lichen recording In June 2014, I have been tasked by the Linnean Society to organise their annual field trip, which will be in June starting with a day on Portland and Chesil on the Saturday with Ballard Down and Studland on the Sunday.

The MOD has the largest historic estate within Government and this report provides commentary on its size, diversity, condition and management. This 5th biennial report covers the financial years 11/12 and 12/13 and fulfils the requirement under the DCMS/ English Heritage (EH) Protocol for the Care of the Government Estate 2009 and Scottish Ministers Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP). It summarises the work and issues arising in the past two years and progress achieved both in the UK and overseas. 2. As recognised in the 2011 English Heritage Biennial Conservation Report, the MOD has fully adopted the Protocol and the requirements outlined in the SHEP. The requirements for both standards have been embedded into MOD business and reflected within its strategies, policies, roles and responsibilities, governance, management systems and plans and finally data systems.

    South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove Walk

    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove walk Weymouth Bay, then a dramatic cliff walk past small beaches, then higher cliffs past Durdle Door (stack) to Lulworth Cove Length 11.1 miles / 17.8 km Toughness 8 out of 10 - 2,400 feet / 730m of ascent (lots of small climbs) Features This spectacular coast walk follows the waymarked South West Coastal Path (SWCP) / England Coast Path (ECP) from Weymouth (seaside town with picturesque harbour) along its seafront promenade, then over spectacular cliffs and past secluded coves and beaches towards Durdle Door (stack) and Lulworth Cove. All, with views over Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland. The start is gentle - along the seafront then seawall. Then over a small hill (pub, cafe, both with sea views) to Bowleaze Cove with its spectacular art deco hotel. Then past some small beaches to the Smugglers Inn in Osmington for lunch. After lunch the cliff top path continues on past Ringstead and above Burning Cliff beach (the fire went out in in 19th C). It passes St Catherine-by- the-Sea church (nice picnic spot), and then becomes an undulating cliff edge walk (a more level inland option is available) to Durdle Door (a stack, great beach) before descending to Lulworth Cove. Return to Wool Station by bus (summer only) or taxi This walk can also be done in reverse, indeed transport considerations may may that a better option. In this case, take a bus from Wool to Lulworth Cove. At the end, continue along the coast to Weymouth's Historic Harbour area which is much nicer than the tacky seafront next to the train station https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/weymouth-to-lulworth-cove/ 1/6 You hardly need a map for this walk as the SWCP is very well waymarked, and you are just following the coast, but it is useful to check your progress.
