More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The overall goal of our research effort is to understand (1) the processes which govern sediment transport in the bottom boundary layer (including suspended, bedload and bedform transport), (2) the relationship of suspended and bedload transport to the bedforms and wave and current forcing, and (3) how these affect strata formation on the continental shelf. With a combined observational and theoretical approach, data is being obtained to improve models of suspended and bedload transport which will allow better predictions of sediment and contaminate transport. Our goal in STRATAFORM is to advance the understanding of the bottom sediment transport processes (resuspension and transport as suspended sediment and movement along the bottom in bedforms) and improve modeling of sediment transport, particularly the movement in the bottom meter of the water column, related to the cross shelf movement and deposition of sediment from the Eel river
