The results reveal, unsurprisingly, that the coral reef beach was negatively affected, with a significant reduction in live coral cover. Interestingly, however, the shoreline saw an increase in beach sediment accumulation as well as shoreline length, highlighting both the negative erosion impacts of storms on corals but also their tendency to liberate new beach sediment.

Concurrently, coastal environments face tremendous stress from anthropogenic interventions, such as land reclamation and jetty construction. However, most research puts more emphasis on TC impacts on large-scale estuaries or marginal seas, leaving the sediment dynamics in small estuaries, particularly under the influence of TCs and man-made structures, largely unexplored due to the limited field data. To address this issue, this study took the Sheyang River Estuary (SRE) as an example and explored the sediment dynamic responses to TCs and the jetty construction during Typhoon Lekima in August 2019, utilizing the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM). The results showed that the rotating wind field of Lekima induced rapid variations in wave height, residual water level, and currents at different typhoon stages and strengthened the sediment resuspension and alongshore transport. Furthermore, by comparing the effects of Lekima with Typhoon Chan-hom in July 2015, we found that TCs with different tracks produced markedly different dynamic processes, yet all facilitated sediment exchange between the northern and southern areas within the SRE. The study also highlighted the impact of jetty construction on sediment transport during typhoons, noting that jetties can disrupt the typhoon-induced alongshore sediment flux and create eddies on either side by altering sediment advection. In the navigational channel area, the construction of jetties can strengthen the along-channel estuarine circulation during typhoon events, potentially leading to severe channel siltation by trapping riverine sediments and inducing net landward sediment transport. While site-specific, this study provides valuable insights into the combined effects of extreme events and human interventions on sedimentary environments in small estuaries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18229,"journal":{"name":"Marine Geology","volume":"480 ","pages":"Article 107452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

K-feldspar is a common rock-forming mineral that is likely representative of the source terranes and could offer a more unbiased constraint on the sediment routing system. Moreover, its susceptibility to weathering prevents it from undergoing more than one sedimentary cycling, thereby providing a better indication of the material's primary source.

For the Pearl River system, the Xi River is the most important sediment contributor, while the Bei River also provides a large amount of sediments. In contrast to detrital zircons, conspicuous differences in provenance were discerned for the two distinct proxies. This discrepancy arises from variations in the density and volume of K-feldspar and zircon grains, leading to their distinct sedimentary patterns during transportation.

Comparable changes have been identified on some other Tasmanian beaches but have only been rarely reported to date. At Roches Beach, consideration of potential causes has identified sea level rise (SLR) as the most plausible driver of the observed change, although increased wave height and vertical land movement (VLM) could also contribute. Climate change induced sea level rise is expected to eventually cause major recession of many shores, however most sandy beaches have not yet shown a clearly attributable response of this sort. We infer that the critical factor causing Roches Beach to undergo an early switch to shoreline recession in response to SLR is its mostly unidirectional littoral drift which transports sand into, through and out of its leaky embayment to a degree not seen in other beaches in the same coastal compartment of Frederick Henry Bay. This delivers a proportion of any eroded sand to the north end of the beach and beyond to a large sand sink at Seven Mile Beach. We deduce that the rising sea-level has increased the frequency and scale of upper beach erosion events, causing increasing net losses of eroded sand from the embayment until the formerly balanced sand budget changed to deficit. Storm records suggest that major erosion events abruptly tipped the beach into a recessional mode when its sand budget was close to deficit. Regional and local confounding processes that may prevent or overwhelm such responses to SLR are minor at this beach. These include swell wave directional variability and interannual sea level variability, both of which are minimal compared to many other Australian coasts. We contend that this allows sea level rise to be more persistently effective at changing the behaviour of Roches Beach than at many other sandy beaches where other causes of variability may be of sufficient magnitude as to mask or prevent persistent changes due to SLR. The factors identified as causing or allowing an early shoreline response to sea level rise will be widely applicable as indicators of other beaches likely to respond early to SLR. This underlines the importance of local studies to identify critical distinctions in susceptibility to SLR between what can be otherwise similar adjacent shores.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18229,"journal":{"name":"Marine Geology","volume":"480 ","pages":"Article 107475"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143093182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
