Abstract

This study aims to explore wave drivers and their control on coastal morphodynamics, focusing on four beaches in the Bay of Biscay. By employing cutting-edge methodologies, the research integrates wave propagation models (SWAN), ML models (Gradi- ent Boosting Regressor), in-situ measures, and video monitoring (KOSTASystem) to forecast and examine beach responses. The re- sults tackle uncertainties in wave predictions and offer valuable insights for beach sustainability and restoration.
