The article discusses problems with using a specific method to model extreme beach erosion events. The researchers looked at how sediment transport and beach shape change over time. They found that the current method may not accurately predict extreme erosion events, especially when dunes are directly affected. This could impact the model's ability to forecast beach erosion accurately.
