The spatial and temporal variability of nearshore sand bar morphology is quantified using a
unique data set spanning 2 years. The data consist of daily time exposure images of incident …

Using shoreline water-level time series collected during 10 dynamically diverse field experiments,
an empirical parameterization for extreme runup, defined by the 2% exceedence value…

An approach was developed for using video imagery to quantify, in terms of both spatial and
temporal dimensions, a number of naturally occurring (nearshore) physical processes. The …

Over the past 25 years, optical remote sensing has been developed into a very useful tool
for sampling the nearshore environment, principally through the use of Argus Stations. …

Statistics of wave run-up maxima have been calculated for 149 35-minutes data runs from a
natural beach. During the experiment incident wave height varied from 0.4 to 4.0 m, incident …

A technique is presented to remotely measure the scales and morphology of natural sand
bars based on the preferential dissipation of wind waves and swell over the crests of the bar. …

Wave setup and swash statistics were calculated from 154 runup time series measured on a
moderately steep beach under incident waves varying from 0.4 to 4.0 m significant wave …

A method has been developed for estimating shoreline position from airborne scanning laser
data. This technique allows rapid estimation of objective, GPS-based shoreline positions …

A study of swash zone sediment transport was conducted at Gleneden Beach, Oregon during
February 25–28, 1994. The data collected included suspended sediment concentration (…

The vulnerability of a beach to extreme coastal change during a hurricane can be estimated
by comparing the relative elevations of storm-induced water levels to those of the dune or …
