They also represent the boundary between land and sea, acting as a protective natural barrier against flooding due to storm surges and wave action. Beach–dune systems are highly dynamic features whose evolution is primarily determined by the mutual and complex exchange of sand through hydrodynamic and eolian processes. The sustainable and resilient conservation of beach–dune (eco)systems in a changing climate requires important insights from multidisciplinary studies and approaches. Toward this vision, this Special Issue is dedicated to collecting original scientific contributions based on field observations, laboratory experiments, and/or numerical models.Technology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicssccoastal stormstropical cyclonescoastal hazardsincipient foredunesSaffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind ScaleIsle of PalmsSouth Carolinanumerical modelingXBeachmorphodynamicdunebeachsynthetic stormantecedent topographyuncertaintytime and space variogramsintertidal barred beach morphologystochastic modelingspace-time covariance modeldata-based modelingdune growthstorm recoverybarrier islandDauphin Islandaeolian sediment transportwind flowfield experimentsnature-based solutionssand trapping fenceserosionvulnerabilityeco-recoverycolloidal nanosilicasediment transportlaboratory experimentslongevityresistanceerosion potentialdune erosionCART analysisNew Jerseydune systemsanthropogenic pressureshoreline changescoastal erosionhistorical cartographysatellite imageryQGISCalabriaairflow around buildingserosion and deposition patternsbeach structurescomputational fluid dynamics (CFD)wave climatesea stormslongshore transportriver transportfragility curvesprobabilistic dune responsewave-beach/dune interactionresilienceadaptationhybrid approachesTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyD'Alessandro Feliceedt1320371Tomasicchio Giuseppe RobertoedtFrega FerdinandoedtD'Alessandro FeliceothTomasicchio Giuseppe RobertoothFrega FerdinandoothBOOK9910619462803321Beach-Dune System Morphodynamics3034201UNINA
