Abstract

Focused local beach and dune erosion hamper coastal safety in certain vulnerable areas. Erosion hotspots are observed as 300-500 m stretches of coastline with greater levels of erosion than adjoining coastlines. Two erosion hotspots are identified, one on the mid Danish west coast (Ndr. Thorsminde Tange) and one on a north-facing beach in northern Jutland (Tversted). Two erosion hotspots, with different wave climates, are observed and analysed to better understand their controlling mechanisms. Forecasting erosion hotspots’ location and behaviour could be valuable for coastal safety in these areas.
