The size and morphology of coastal dunes is dependent on the complex interaction between controlling winds, sediment supply, and the geomorphology of the nearshore and beach environment.

The movement of sediment into the back beach environment often results in the formation of coastal dunes. Aa Aa Aa For large-scale coastal dune development there needs to be a suitable wind regime ...
