Abstract

Dissertação de mestrado, Geomática, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, 2014Five Finger Strand, a bedrock-framed beach located between Five Finger rock and the mouth of Trawbreaga Bay, Republic of Ireland, appears to experience high temporal and spatial variability in erosion and accretion because the coast is forced by multiple mechanisms that operate over different time scales (Cooper et al., 2007). To identify all states the beach can present, their frequency of occurrence and dynamics, it the study of beach profiles was implemented in which beach volumetric analysis was used to determine and predict beach evolution. Additionally incident waves were analysed and statistical analysis applied on these. Owing to da...
