Extreme weather events could help buffer beaches from the impact of sea-level rise, new study finds
19 May 2022
A new study from the UNSW Water Research Lab has shown that extreme weather events could help buffer beaches from the impact of sea-level rise – by bringing in new sand from deeper waters or from nearby beaches.
The researchers say it's a new way of looking at storms – and hope this research could redefine how we understand the long-term future of coastlines.
