Abstract
Understanding coastal morphodynamics involves investigating a system of processes and landforms operating over variable spatial and temporal scales in a environment, where the hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere meet to form one of Earth's most complex systems. Understanding its short‐ (event) to long‐term (evolution) dynamics requires a multidisciplinary approach to investigate a diversity of coastal environments. Science‐led management of sandy coastal systems must incorporate a comparative understanding of the morphodynamics operating at a range of sites to allow effective management to take place.
