I am looking for real cases of esturies where sediment material from beaches in their vicinity is trapped. As a result, coastal structures like groynes or ports near such estuaries may possibly suffer from erosion problems as well.
High Antonios!
You might wish to look at the attached paper by Flor-Blanco et al. (2013) in Geo-Marine Letters 33. It's the closest to your question that I can think of.
Regards, Burg Flemming
For centuries this is the case in the Wester- and Oosterschelde estuaries in the Netherlands and also the Wadden Sea. Banks are protected with stone fills but in the past often bank collapses and flow slides occurred. Recent examples of beach collapse in estuaries we found in Queensland, Australia. You can download the papers on my site.
Hi Professor Flemming! Many thanks for the paper you sent to me! I have read it and it proved to be very useful!
Mr Mastbergen, thank you for your answer. I will have a look on your site and come back to you in case I need any further help.
Dear Antonios, you're welcome, would be great if some cooperation might be possible
