Hi. Maybe someone know any publications containing information about the morphological division (sub-unit description) of the coastal foredunes and attached sea beach. I found only coarse units in coastal geomorphology terms like "lee\windward slope", "dune crest", "dune foot", but nothing about more fractional zoning. Blowouts are described as "blowouts" without any sub-uniting. Also with the beach - its possible to find some phrases about "berms", but nothing concrete, with descriptions or definitions of their borders ets.
Dear Aleksandr Danchenkov
Is there a big difference between the sand dunes in the center of the desert rather than near the coast?
I wish you clarification, please.
thanks
Dear Aleksandr Danchenkov,
I recently read a paper on coastal geoindicators and I think there are some references in it which could be helpful. See : Coastal geoindicators: Towards the establishment of a common framework for sandy coastal environments. @ Carapuço et al., 2016. Textbook and Encyclopedia on coastal geomorphology or coastal science will aslo help you.
