Coast of Lake Erie Report on Littoral Processes and Sedimentation in the Cattaraugus Embayment, New York.

Abstract

It is the intent of this approach to determine in detail the littoral process pattern during any individual storm and to outline the consequent long-term sediment dispersal paths. Based on the developed process response model for the unmodified Cattaraugus Embayment, the report concludes with a prediction of possible sedimentation problems associated with five different breakwater configurations at the Creek mouth.
