This paper examines the processes responsible for the morphodynamics of an intertidal swash bar at Skallingen, Denmark, during 7 successive storms. The contributions of gravity waves, infragravity waves and mean currents to the cross-shore suspended
sediment transport are systematically described and related to the morphological response of the intertidal swash bars at Skallingen.

Dynamics of intertidal drainage channels on a multi-barred macrotidal beach

The intertidal drainage channels on a macrotidal bar-trough (ridge-and-runnel) beach, the Leffrinckouke beach in the southern North Sea, were monitored during a 17-day survey. This beach is characterized by 2 intertidal drainage channel types : type
1, dominantly longshore systems essentially limited to the wide intertidal zone; smaller and ephemeral type 2, dominantly cross-shore systems incising bars during spring tides. Channel mobility and impact on beach morphology are expected to increase
Location and height of intertidal bars on macrotidal ridge and runnel beaches

The principal aim of this paper is to investigate whether the ridges are preferentially located on the intertidal profile where the water level is stationary for the longest time and whether the height of the ridges increases across the intertidal
. It is suggested that the ridges are the result of a combination of swash and surf zone processes acting across the intertidal zone.
Geomorphology of subtidal and intertidal areas in the Southwest of the Netherlands in Developments in physical geography. A tribute to J. I. S. Zonneveld..
In the Southwest of the Netherlands tidal currents are responsible for deposition of subtidal and intertidal sediments in which several characteristic geomorphological units can be distinguished. (AIS).

This paper briefly reports on the conditions and processes involved in such deformation features, which reflect active mud burial under sand within the intertidal beach profile.
