Recent papers authored or co-authored by Bernard O. Bauer demonstrate a focus on coastal and sediment dynamics. Notable publications are:

  • Air flow and sediment transport dynamics on a foredune with contrasting vegetation cover (2022) in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • CFD simulations of wind flow across scarped foredunes: Implications for sediment pathways and beach-dune recovery after storms (2022) in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
  • Controls on the geomorphic response of beach-dune systems to water level rise (2021) in Journal of Great Lakes Research
  • A preliminary assessment of machine learning algorithms for predicting CFD-simulated wind flow patterns over idealised foredunes (2021) in Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand
  • Assessing the impact of hurricane Fiona on the coast of PEI National Park and implications for the effectiveness of beach-dune management policies (2024) in Journal of Coastal Conservation

Bernard O. Bauer collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Robin Davidson-Arnott, Patrick A. Hesp, Ian J. Walker, Jeff Ollerhead, and Gregory Courtice. These collaborations reflect cross-disciplinary approaches to coastal and environmental research.
