ABSTRACT Wang, J., and Sherman, D.J., 2016. Cusp development on a gravel beach. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 937–941. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Field experiments were conducted on a gravel foreshore at Portmore Beach, Ireland, to test edge wave, self-organization, and process-based hypotheses. The study site is on a 350 m long, meso-tidal beach, open to waves from the northeast. The gravel foreshore comprises 20–250 mm particles, and cusps are ubiquitous thereon. The foreshore is fronted by a sandy nearshore. Water levels, waves, and currents were measured with an instrument array that comprised seven Marsh-McBirney model 511, bi-directional current meters, and eleven KPSI pressure transducers. Prior to the experiment the study area was graded to remove existing cusps and a video camera installed to monitor morpho...
