Abstract
This chapter examines beach-dune interactions, the sediment transport, and morphological connection between beach and dune systems, from a process perspective. We introduce the components of beach-dune interactions from small to large temporal scales: process, tidal and storm, and Holocene. The chapter concludes by integrating the previously discussed concepts and introducing dominant beach-dune interaction models. Linking these processes over a range of spatial and temporal scales has proven quite difficult, remains an important focus of the science, and provides opportunity for future investigations. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
