Abstract
Morphodynamics of sandy beaches are governed by sediment transport processes. Conceptualising the process of subaqueous and subaerial sediment transport and quantifying the magnitude of sediment transport have proven to be a difficult challenge. The challenge is reflected by the many concepts available that describe sediment transport and its relationship with hydrodynamic processes and sediment compositions. This chapter gives an overview of the most important concepts that are currently available and widely used to describe sediment transport processes.
