Abstract
⺠We test simple dune erosion models using observations from a large wave tank. ⺠We use stereo video and newly developed confidence intervals to observe dune erosion. ⺠The 16% exceedance elevation of runup above the dune base best quantifies erosion. ⺠The modeled dune base retreated 93% of the observed retreat distance.
