Erosion of Cohesive Dredged Material in Open-Water Disposal Sites

Abstract

This technical note presents an overview of various erosion processes that can contribute to the dispersion of cohesive material placed in open-water dredged material disposal sites and describes in detail the surface erosion process. This information is given for guidance for scoping a cohesive sediment dispersion study.
