The article discusses how waves breaking on a beach can change its shape by moving sand around. The researchers studied how suspended sediment in the water affects this process. They found that the beach profile can be predicted by looking at the energy of the waves and the movement of sediment. This information can be used to design coastal structures and predict where the shoreline will be in the future.
