  • Potentially Useful Beach Nourishment and Associated Studies/Projects – References
    Sand Nourishment Forum – Sand Nourishment Reference list October 2013 Updated from Coasts & Ports Conference, Sydney 2013 Potentially Useful Beach Nourishment and Associated Studies/Projects – References Foreword: The Coasts & Ports 2013 Organising Committee introduced a half- day Sand Nourishment Forum comprising a Questions and Answers format directed to an experienced Panel with audience participation to explore and promote the use of sand nourishment as a viable method for managing short term erosion and long term coastal recession. The Forum emanated from great interest in beach nourishment around Australia, with a long history of successful projects from Adelaide to Noosa and major projects on the Gold Coast. The 2013 Conference was launched with a keynote address from Dr Stefan Aarninkhof who was intricately involved in the Delfland Sand Engine project in the Netherlands, which has introduced 21.5M m3 of offshore sands to the Dutch coast to provide coastal protection and prevent coastal inundation. As a precursor to the Beach Nourishment Forum at the Coast & Ports Conference 2013 in Sydney, A. D. Gordon (Forum Moderator) compiled the following list of reference material with contributions from J.T. Carley, E.D. Couriel, A. L. Jackson, A.R Jones, D.B. Lord, A.F. Nielsen, T.D. Shand, R.B. Tomlinson, T. Stul, R. Tucker. The list is intended to be a start on a “live “ document that can be added to, as further reference material becomes available/unearthed. The list has been compiled to assist those carrying out or contemplating beach nourishment, beach scraping and entrance by-passing or back-passing projects. It is hoped that other special interest topics to the coastal and port engineering profession may be run in similar forums as part of the future Coasts & Ports Conference series.

  • Extraordinary Sequence of Severe Weather Events in the Late-Nineteenth Century
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2020, 70, 252–279 Review https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19041 Extraordinary sequence of severe weather events in the late-nineteenth century Jeff Callaghan Retired. Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane, Qld., Australia. Postal address: 3/34 Macalister Road, Tweed Heads, NSW 2486, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Between 1883 and 1898, 24 intense tropical cyclones and extra tropical cyclones directly impacted on the southern Queensland and northern New South Wales coasts, with at least 200 fatalities in what was then a sparsely populated area. These events also caused record floods and rainfall, for example Brisbane City experienced its two largest ever floods over this period and Brisbane City set a 24-h rainfall record that still stands today. Additionally, a 24-h rainfall total of 907 mm occurred in a tributary of the upper Brisbane River resulting in a 15-m wall of water advancing down the river. Recent studies have shown that this part of Australia incurs the largest weather-related insurance losses. A major focus in this study is the seas these storms generated, leading to the loss of many marine craft and changes these waves brought to coastal areas. As a famous example of coastal erosion near Brisbane, the continual impacts from large waves caused a channel to form through Stradbroke Island to the open ocean forming two separate islands. Details of how this channel formed are described in relation to the storms. A climatology study of 239 Australian east coast storms that caused severe ocean damage between Brisbane and the Victorian border over the period between 1876 and February 2020 showed that 153 events occurred with a positive Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) trend and 86 events with a negative trend.

  • Sydney Southern Beaches NSW02.03.05
    Sydney Southern Beaches NSW02.03.05 Regional Setting The dominant regional processes influencing coastal geomorphology in this region are the humid warm to cool temperate climate, micro-tides, south-easterly Tasman Sea swells, easterly seas, dominantly quartz (terrigenous) sediments with northerly longshore transport in the northern part, and the El Nino Southern Oscillation (driving beach erosion/accretion cycles, cyclone frequency). Regional hazards or processes driving large scale rapid coastal changes include: East Coast Lows (extra-tropical cyclones), mid-latitude cyclones (depressions), and storm surges (<1m). This compartment extends from Cape Banks to Port Hacking Point. Justification of sensitivity Overall rating is a 3, although sand extraction from Kurnell may exacerbate sensitivity of this area to a 4 or 5. There will be continued loss of sand at Towra Point. Other comments The beaches in Botany Bay are relatively low energy, although Lady Robinson Beach on the western side has formed as a sequence of beach ridges, but has experienced episodes of severe erosion in the past (Andrews, 1916). The potential inundation in this area has been studied in a COVERMAR project by Sydney Coastal Councils Group and by CSIRO (see McInnis et al. 2012; and Dall’Osso et al., 2014). Bate Bay contains Cronulla Beach, Sydney’s longest beach. Much of the back barrier area of transgressive dunes has been mined for sand extraction, making this area potentially sensitive (Gordon, 1992). Considered to be eroding with high confidence at geomorphologic and historic scales by Chapman et al. (1982). Roy and Crawford (1980) have studied the geologic history of Kurnell Peninsular and Foster, and others have undertaken several investigations of erosion issues at Bate Bay/Cronulla area (for instance Foster, 1974).
