In Fisher's article (1955) unusual beach projections (cuspate spits) in the lagoons of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, were described. The question of their formation remained unsettled and led to further discussion by Price and Wilson (1956). The present author reports the data obtained while the problem was studied by the scientists of the U.S.S.R....

... From the 1950s onwards, a group of investigators in the former Soviet Union started to use sands marked with fluorescent paints on a large scale (Zenkovitch 1960). The methodology consisted in marking sand grains with a fine film of a colloid (agar-agar) containing fluorescent material. ...

... Lake shores are especially sensitive to water level fluctuations and can develop coastal landforms similar to those present in marine environments (beaches, coastal lagoons, deltas, etc.; Gilbert, 1885); the main requisite is an effective fetch long enough to create waves and currents capable of eroding and transporting shoreline sediments Wang et al., 2017). This situation can be achieved under two different scenarios: large lakes where waves and currents are comparable to those typical of open ocean coasts (Anthony, 2009;Mattheus, 2016;Russell, 1885); and smaller lakes where morphological elongation of the water body is parallel to the prevailing winds (this parallelism has not to be necessarily strict) and the resulting wave-driven longshore currents can significantly affect the lake shores (Gracia, 1995;Krist & Schaetzl, 2001;Zenkovich, 1959). ...
