Abstract

A set of storms, with varying intensity and duration, was used to investigate the range of morphological impacts on a macro-tidal beach (Sefton coast, Liverpool Bay, UK), using a nested computational modelling framework. Extreme wave and water level conditions were extracted from modelled and observ...
