Abstract
Aeolian processes play a key role in the exchange of sediment between beaches and foredunes in coastal embayments. The present contribution examines the wind regimes characterizing one stretch of temperate coast (Tentsmuir, Scotland), the routing and volumes of the resultant aeolian sediment transport on the beaches and foredunes and presents a summary of wind-induced aeolian bedforms along the coast.Keywords
