Monitoring of Alabama Berms

Abstract

The purpose of this technical note presents insights into how, why, and when dredged material berms move, based on the gradual and well documented response of two Alabama berms and the relative stability of a third berm farther off shore. These results, together with measurements from other field sites that will be discussed in later technical notes, form the basis for ongoing modeling of the long term fate of dredged material placed in open water.
