Climate Influence on Headland Bypassing (Fingal Head, Australia)
This research used morphological measurements (topo-bathymetric surveys and remote sensing), numerical modelling (Delft3D) and atmospheric pattern clustering in order to investigate a natural headland bypassing process. The study is focused on short (months to years) and long-term (years to decades) variability of the bypassing process and the potential relation to weather types and climate indexes that induce the regional wave climate.
