Abstract

Coastal flow slides have been reported around the world (Mastbergen et al., 2019; Nédélec et al., 2022), often at over-steepened banks subject to strong tidal flows, pose threat to coastal communities and infrastructure (Lulla, 2017). With sea level rise caused by climate change, these flow slides are expected to occur more frequently in more sites worldwide. Amity Point Beach, North Stradbroke Island (27o 23’ 35’’S, 153o26’23’’E), about 40 km from Brisbane, Australia, have experienced regular coastal flow slides for more than 40 years (Eberhardt, 1978). Together with observations at Amity Point beach field site, small-scale flow slides are simulated in laboratory by tilting metal box filled with sand and fluid.
