Studien fokuserar även på hur dynlandskSediment samples have been collected in a collaboration with the faculty of engineering, Lunds Univer-sity in the northern parts of Skälderviken to determine the ongoing erosion that has been observed in earlier studies. The previous tests are the basis of the study and have been correlated with new samples taken along the coast. This study also focuses on how the inland dunes have changed since t
