Extreme storms in 2013/14 caused big changes to the southwest coast of England. Researchers studied how sandy and gravel beaches responded to these storms. They used special data to classify different types of beach responses, like losing sediment or redistributing it. Factors like wave exposure and beach shape determined how the beaches changed. They found that beaches with similar conditions showed similar changes in sediment volume over 10 years. This study helps us understand how coastlines respond to storms and can be useful for planning coastal protection measures.
