Effect of Tropical Cyclones on Short-Term Evolution of Carbonate Sandy Beaches on Reunion Island, Indian Ocean

Carbonate sandy beaches in Reunion Island show various forms of evidence of erosion. Extreme waves associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) play a major role in beach dynamics. The present study analyzes and quantifies back-reef beach response and recovery from forcing generated by TCs Dumile, Fellen...
