SEDIMENT DISTRIBUTION AND HYDRODYNAMICS SACO RIVER AND SCARBORO ESTUARIES, MAINE,

Abstract

Using a combination of field observations and measurements and laboratory investigation of sampled materials, this study is an attempt to discover the processes responsible for the formation of the assemblage of Holocene sediment bodies present in the Saco Bay, Maine, area. By interpreting the processes and the significant features resulting from them in this and other areas currently under study by the University of Massachusetts Coastal Research Group, a clearer picture of the complex pattern of coastal sand-body development, it is anticipated, will emerge.
