Abstract Robust data are the base of effective gender diversity policy. Evidence shows that inequality is still pervasive in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Coastal geoscience (CGE) encompasses professionals working on coastal processes, integrating expertise across physics, geomorphology, engineering, planning management. The article presents novel results experiences bias CGE, proposes practical steps to address it. It analyses representation 9 societies, 25...

The Little Ice Age is the most noted climatological event in recent history with dramatic consequences for a large part of western European coastal landscape. A major morphological feature associated this presence large-scale transgressive dune fields that actively advanced inland, encroaching, some cases, human settlements and directly affecting communities. Several hypotheses exist to explain formation such features, which purport increased storminess, sea-level changes, or activities as...

Low frequency, high magnitude storm events can dramatically alter coastlines, helping to relocate large volumes of sediments and changing the configuration landforms. Increases in number intense cyclones occurring Northern Hemisphere since 1970s is evident with more northward tracking patterns developing. This brings added potential risk coastal environments infrastructure northwest Europe therefore understanding how these high-energy storms impact sandy coasts particular important for...

Infrequent but high energy storm events can radically modify coastlines, at times displacing significant sediment volumes and changing the configuration of coastal shorelines. More frequent more intense Atlantic storms over last 40 years have heightened potential risk to environments, population infrastructure. Understanding local environmental forcing conditions associated variables involved in impact response, better inform future management planning. This study examines impacts two...

Airflow dynamics across dune surfaces are the primary agent of sediment transport and resulting migration movements. Using 3D computational fluid dynamic modelling, this study examined behaviour near surface airflow travelling over transverse (reversing) dunes on a beach system. Wind direction was modelled in two opposing directions (both perpendicular to crestline) investigate alteration flow topography. Surface shear stress, velocity streamlines potential flux were extracted from...

Abstract Nearshore bars play a pivotal role in coastal behaviour, helping to protect and restore beach systems particularly post‐storm conditions. Examination of bar behaviour under various forcing conditions is important help understand the short‐ medium‐term evolution sandy systems. This study carried out over nine‐week period examines, three intertidal along high energy system northwest Ireland using high‐frequency topographic surveys detailed nearshore hydrodynamic modelling.

Abstract The complex morphodynamic interactions between nearshore, shoreface and dune systems are usually simplified by studying these zones their associated processes in isolation. However, the established relationships each of them suggests that an integrated approach is required to examine genesis, evolution adaptation entire system.

Abstract Multiple intertidal bar (MITB) beach systems comprise a succession of subdued, shore‐parallel sandbars, developed under low‐energy conditions in meso‐ to macrotidal settings. Their relatively stable morphologies over long timescales are commonly attributed dynamic equilibrium, driven primarily by seasonal morphodynamics. The behaviour is, however, poorly understood. relationship between temporal and spatial hydrodynamic forcing morphological changes was investigated through monthly...

Abstract The morphodynamics and structure of barriers with persistent tidal inlets have been well studied. In contrast the stratigraphy functioning barrier systems ephemeral is poorly understood.

First described by King and Williams in 1949, multiple intertidal barred (MITB) features are characterised a succession of sandbars, comprising complex system subject to variable hydrodynamics.
