Estimating Dredging Sediment Resuspension Sources.

Abstract

The purpose of this technical note is to herein presents an approach for estimating the suspended-sediment source from cutterhead, hopper, and clamshell dredges. The approach involves modification of an existing method developed from limited field data. These estimates are needed to provide input to a numerical model called SSFATE (Suspended Sediment FATE) that is being developed under the Dredging Operations and Environmental Research (DOER) Program.
