Excerpt

Johnson (1919) defined beach ridges as depositional features constructed by waves at successive shore positions. Reineck and Singh (1975) characterized beach ridges as having been formed at high-tide level of “rather coarse sediment” and related to storms or exceptionally high water stages. Bates and Jackson (1980) designated beach ridges as low mounds of beach and beach-and-dune material, heaped up by waves over the backshore beyond the present limit of storm waves or ordinary tides, but there is a risk of confusing wave-deposited and wind-deposited ridges. Referring to relict strandplain dunes as beach ridges, Carter (1986) used the term very broadly to cover “all large constructional forms of the upper beach, capable of preservation,” applying it also to landward-shifting offshore bars, already welded swash bars, and prograded berm ridges. …
