Grain size data for the Isbjørnhamna beach, Svalbard (2022-2024)

Grain size data collected during three field campaigns in 2022, 2023 and 2024 along the Isbjørnhamna beach, Svalbard. The spreadsheet contains the information on the site ID, acquisition date and coordinates, photograph, BASEGRAIN (v2.2.0.4) settings, resulting median grain size (d50) and the median grain size class. Photographs of all sites, and the BASEGRAIN result plots are also attached.

  • Project title: Wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund fjord, Svalbard Project ID: UMO-2021/40/C/ST10/00146 Project description: This study focuses on modelling wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund, a ~300 km2 fjord of SW Spitsbergen, Svalbard, through 1) a fjord-scale modelling of wind wave transformation that incorporates the role of sea ice in wave attenuation, and 2) a beach-scale empirical modelling of water level maxima. The overall goal is to understand how changing climate, namely sea ice decline and increasing storminess, impacts Arctic shores, and to predict shoreline water levels at present and in future Project homepage: https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/en/index.php?projekt_id=509796 Project financing institution: National Science Centre, Poland
