Evolution of Sediment Parameters after a Beach Nourishment

Evolution of Sediment Parameters after a Beach Nourishment

A methodology for monitoring the behaviour and size of sand after a beach nourishment process is presented herein. Four sampling campaigns (before and just after the nourishment, after six months and one year later) were performed on four beaches of the Gulf of Cadiz (Spain). D<sub>50</sub&...
