Video-based Monitoring of an Artificial Beach Nourishment Project
Cao, Z.; Zhang, C.; Chi, S.; Zhuang, L., and Zheng, J., 2020. Video-based monitoring of an artificial beach nourishment project. In: Malvárez, G. and Navas, F. (eds.), Global Coastal Issues of 2020. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 95, pp. 1037-1041. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. This paper presents a case study on field observation of a new artificial beach nourishment project in Rizhao Coast, China. Using video-based monitoring technique combined with beach profile surveying, wave overtopping features prior to nourishment, shoreline change during the construction, and short-term post-fill morphological evolution of the artificial beach are observed and analyzed. Results show that wave overtopping characteristics and nourishing process can be quantified through video imagery analysis. Two-month post-fill profile and shoreline data reveal that little sand has been moved to the deep water and overall sand volume above -6 m elevation remained stable. The northern beach evolution was dominated by alongshore sediment transport and the eroded sands from central beach were mainly transported to the north, while the southern beach evolution was affected by both alongshore and cross-shore processes due to sheltering effect of the southern breakwater. Attention is recommended to be paid to the relationship between overwash-driven onshore sediment transport and berm/backshore evolution, as well as the future evolution of beach morphology close to the northern breakwater. The present study suggests that integrating the video-based and the conventional monitoring approaches can be helpful to capture and interpret in more details the physical processes involved in different phases of a beach nourishment project.

Rannahoone ja moodne supelrand sõdadevahelises Eestis
The new beach culture needed its own infrastructure, and a new type of building was born in the form of the beach house. Many local governments and associations were able to afford to erect these seasonal lightweight wooden structures, which provided dining tables, changing rooms, clothing storage, and basic beach services. While Pärnu I (O. Siinmaa, 1927) and Tallinn Pirita (E. Kuusik, 1929) were still historicist, the Tartu municipal swimming pool (A. Matteus, 1928) on the banks of the Emajõgi River added an expressionist touch. The most masterful in terms of architecture were the asymmetrical Tallinn Pelguranna (O. Soans, 1937) and the only stone building, Pärnu II (O. Siinmaa, 1939), whose mushroom-shaped balcony remains one of the symbols of the city to this day. Linnavolikogus seisis just baltisakslaste fraktsioon supelasutuse taastamise eest,13 mis näitab, et vana eliit väärtustas traditsioonilist kuurorti. Vaatamata sellele, et supelriided muutusid aina napimaks, võimaldas mood luua eristumisi jõukate ja lihtrahva randadeks.16 Suvituslinnades oli oluline jagunemine kohalikeks ja supel-võõrasteks, aga eksisteeris ka põlvkondlik veelahe, sest vanemad inimesed ei võt-nud omaks uut rannakultuuri.17 Eestlasi meelitasid randa ka sportlikud tegevused, mis 20. sajandi alguses haa-rasid paljusid ja pakkusid nüüd rannas hasartsemat ajaviidet kui päevitamine.
