Abstract

Notsukezaki Sand Spit is the longest sand spit in Japan and the wave and morphological characteristics vary along the spit. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the morphological changes of the sand spit for long-term and mid-term field observations and aerial photos. The natural and morphological characteristics are investigated based on the field observations and aerial photos for a long-term period (decades). The regional sediment budget is estimated using the shoreline changes and the result of wave hindcast simulation for five years. Finally, the cross-shore beach processes are examined using the numerical model, CSHORE.
