  • A New Technique for Measuring Depth of Disturbance in the Swash Zone
    A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING DEPTH OF DISTURBANCE IN THE SWASH ZONE. A Brook 1,2 , C Lemckert 2 1 GHD , Level 13, The Rocket, 203 Robina Town Centre Drive, Robina, Qld 4226, Australia 2 Griffith University, Gold Coast, QLD ABSTRACT Depth of disturbance (DoD), also known as the sediment mixing depth, is a measure of the depth to which the beach face sediment is moved by wave action in the swash zone. By improving our understanding of DoD we can better predict important beach processes - such as natural beach evolution; sediment movement around engineering structures; the design and planning of beach renourishment schemes and sediment-associated pollution transport patterns. To date nearly all studies resolved DoD after a complete tidal cycle. This paper will present a new technique, based on sediment cores, for measuring DoD including conducting detailed analysis both due to a few waves or a complete tidal cycle. The new technique involves freezing sediment cores which can be taken during the tidal cycle. By freezing sediment cores it allows for detailed examination of the DoD and direction of local sand migration. The paper also outlines that, through the use of the Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) model, offshore wave readings from wave buoys can be related to nearshore wave height. Hence, through the dominant relationship of DoD to near shore breaking wave height, estimates of the disturbance to a beach may, in the future, be easily determined without the need to conducted detailed experiments. INTRODUCTION This project was inspired by the inherent need for a better understanding of DoD in the swash zone.

    Seminar Coastal Morphodynamics IMAU, Utrecht University, 2008 Lecturers: Prof. dr. Paolo Blondeaux Prof. dr. Giovanna Vittori Dpt. of Environmental Engineering University of Genoa, Italy Huib de Swart 2 1 General objective of this seminar Discuss physical processes that cause the presence of undulations of the sea bottom Example 1: Ripples at the beach Horizontal length scale ~ 10 cm ; height ~ 2 cm Generation timescale ~ hours Due to: waves Relevance: wave prediction, estimation of sediment transport 3 Example 2: Tidal sand waves Horizontal length scale ~ 500 m; height ~ 2 m Generation timescale ~ years Due to: tides Relevance: e.g, buckling of pipelines, navigation 4 2 Sand waves in the Marsdiep 5 Example 3: Sand ridges on the outer and inner shelf Britain Netherlands North Sea Tidal sand ridges Shoreface-connected sand ridges Horizontal length scale ~ km; height ~ 5-10 m Generation timescale ~ 100 years Due to: tides and storm-driven currents Relevance: sand mining, coastal stability 6 3 Research questions 1. Which mechanisms are responsible for the formation and maintenance of rhythmic topography in coastal seas? 2. Can we predict the characteristics of bedforms? • spatial pattern • migration speed • height 3. What is the response of bottom patterns to - human interventions (e.g., extraction of sand)? - sea level changes? 7 Research approaches: 1. Collection and analysis of field observations (identify phenomena+ describe behaviour) Problems: • lack of data • selection of spatial + temporal resolution • selection of spatial + temporal extent • what is transient/nontransient behaviour? 8 4 2. Collection and analysis of laboratory data C. Paolo Univ. of Minnesota Advantages: data obtained under controlled conditions Problems: link to reality (scaling problems) 9 3.

  • Coastal Morphodynamics Affected by Beachrocks: Observations from Selected Beaches in Jamaica, W
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 20, EGU2018-17701-1, 2018 EGU General Assembly 2018 © Author(s) 2018. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Coastal morphodynamics affected by beachrocks: observations from selected beaches in Jamaica, W. I. Taneisha Edwards and Simon Mitchell The University of the West Indies (Mona), Department of Geography and Geology, Jamaica ([email protected]) Effects of beachrocks on wave and coastal morphodynamics are not at this time known. However, since more beachrocks are becoming exposed with sea level rise and erosion it is important that we try to understand and quantify the processes in order to inform and fine-tune temporal models of beach response to daily coastal processes and storm events. The observations of wave morphodynamics at some Jamaican beaches represent a new class of beach that probably operates outside the bounds of existing morphodynamical models. Beaches affected by beachrocks in Jamaica depict a heightened backwash resulting in faster scouring and erosion. This scouring and erosion results in loss of sediment seaward. Beachrock when buried does not directly affect waves but indirectly affects the backwash by changing the porosity of the beach body. This change will negatively affect the drainage regime, by reducing the infiltration potential of the swash and increasing the backwash. Alternately, when beachrocks are exposed waves are directly affected; in early stages of exposure, beachrock appears to be a buffer and protects the beach from erosion by reflecting and refracting waves. Sediment is often build up behind the beachrock. However, after prolonged exposure, the opposite is seen where the beachrock is isolated, and the profile of the beach is lowered as most of the sediment is loss and physical features of erosion persist such as scarps, and scour lagoons behind the beachrock on the shore-face.
