Abstract
Beach morphological states evolve over different time scales in relation to waves and antecedent beach characteristics. There are various forms of beach state which include dissipative, reflective, and intermediate. The aim of this work is to develop a new empirical model that can recognize beach state variability when beaches respond to varying wave climates without having the need to use computationally expensive process-based numerical model.References
