The Quantitative Description of Beach Cycles Aubrey, D.G. and R.M. Ross Marine Geology, Vol. 69, pp. 155-170, 1985 WHOI-R-85-013 A quantitative method is developed to describe sequential changes in beach profile morphology. The method provides a uniform way to objectively discriminate energetic beach cycles, and yields a concise representation for beach modeling and prediction. It…

Theoretical and Observational Estimates of Nearshore Bedload Transport Rates Goud, M.R. and D.G. Aubrey Marine Geology, Vol. 64, pp. 91-111, 1985 WHOI-R-85-001 Sediment transport rates in a shallow (<3 m) nearshore region are estimated using theoretical models and using bedform migration rates measured from vertical aerial photographs covering a 10-year interval. Theoretical rates based solely…
