How can I estimate the shape and scale parameter of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) given a specific data-set?

I have already estimated the threshold that I will consider, created the pdf of the extreme values that I will take into account and currently trying to fit to this a Generalized Pareto...

Except for longshore drifts, may we consider additional longshore currents which could potentially influence sediment transport and beach evolution?

Even if this not the case for natural beaches, I am thinking that mega-nourishments and artificial islands in particular might be exposed to additional currents to the longshore drift generated by...

Do you know any estuaries which act as sinks of sediment material and cause beach erosion as well as problems to the coastal structures nearby?

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...

Could you please inform me about some 3D or Q3D (process-based) oceanographic and beach models?

So far I have listed the following 3D models: Pechon and Teisson (1996); Gessler et al. (1999); Lesser et al. (2004; part of the "DELFT3D Suite). Similarly, I know about the following Q3D models:...

Could you provide me with the relative bibliography about how the gap between multiple breakwaters affects the development of salients behind them?

So far I have found a relative paper by Suh and Dalrymple (1987). I am specifically interested in detached (offshore) breakwaters.

How can we determine the permeability of a rock groin or a detached rock breakwater?

I mainly want to calculate the portion of sand which can pass through a rock groyne due to the littoral drift.

What is the proportion of sediment material flow from a river-mouth which contributes to local accretion instead of moving offshore?

I am looking for a (very) rough estimation of the portion of the sediment flow from a river-mouth which instead of moving and being lost offshore, contributes to the local beach's shoreline evolution.
