TRANSPORTATION OF COASTAL SEDIMENTS
Abstract
Based on the distribution of beach sand samples and their thorium and heavy minerals concentrations and wave refraction diagrams, the pattern of sand movement along the California Coast from the mouth of the Russian River to Point San Pedro was found to be from the north to the south, except for a few locations where a reversal direction of littoral drift existed.
