Abstract

A workshop on swash-zone processes was convened in July of 2014 aimed to present the most recent research advances and to identify topics of future research. This paper presents the most critical topics discussed at the workshop with future perspectives. Recurring themes throughout the workshop (and this paper) are the ability to tie the research to problems of societal interest, focus efforts on understanding extreme conditions, and improve sediment transport and morphodynamic prediction from numerical models. Subsequent papers in the special issue highlight recent advances in swash-zone processes research. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
