Extreme storms may induce major changes in coastal morphology which are usually short-term in nature. The storm-related effects are controlled by different factors such as storm intensity, sand composition and coastal morphology. The main task of this study is to identify the main factors controlling erosion processes in particular coastal sectors during an extreme event. We analysed three major storms that took place over the last 15 years on the Lithuanian Baltic Sea coast: 4th December, 1999, 9th January, 2005 and 11th January, 2015. The scale of storm impact has been assessed through annual...
