Rapid bank erosion by intense tidal flows. (a) Aerial view of survey site fronted by eroded bank upon tidal-bore arrival. (b) Observed water-level and flow-velocity changes over spring tidal cycle in dry and rainy seasons (Water-level profile in dry season has some data breaks). (c) Bank erosion process during flood phase from dry-season survey. (d) Top view of the cantilever bank failure: overhang block is collapsing. (e) Bank line retreating 10–20 m over four tidal cycles. Graphs were created using MATAB ver. R2006b from Mathworks Inc. Figure labels were added using Microsoft Powerpoint 2016.
