Field characterization of three-dimensional lee-side airflow patterns under offshore winds at a beach-dune system
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-05-22)
Characterization of three-dimensional (3D) airflow remains elusive within a variety of environments and is particularly challenging over complex dune topography. Previous work examining airflow over and in the lee of dunes ...
Foredune accretion under offshore winds
(Elsevier, 2007)
Experiments carried out at Magilligan Strand on the north coast of Ireland
suggest that topographic steering of offshore winds is an important facet of the aeolian
sediment transport system at this location. A five-day ...
Consideration of coastal risk in the Irish spatial planning process
(Elsevier, 2014-11-29)
The vulnerability of coastal areas to associated hazards is increasing due to population growth, development pressure and climate change. It is incumbent on coastal governance regimes to address the vulnerability of coastal ...
The fetch effect on aeolian sediment transport on a sandy beach: a case study from Magilligan Strand, Northern Ireland
(Wiley, 2016-04-22)
Experiments were conducted on Magilligan Strand, Northern Ireland, to assess the influence of the fetch effect on aeolian sediment transport. During each experiment surface sediments were uniformly dry and unhindered by ...
Hijacking the 3Ss to ground reflective co-management of beach-dune environments
(Elsevier, 2021-12-23)
The global drive to provide the 3Ss (Sun, Sand and Sea) for the benefit of tourists has been a contributory factor in the parallel deterioration of beach-dune habitats on our coasts. In Europe, this has happened at a time ...
