Graduate Student Support for Studies on Wave-Seabed Interactions

Abstract

Two Graduate students were supported to conduct research on small-scale sedimentation processes in the nearshore region. Field observations of bedforms and sediment dynamics indicate that the amount of sediment suspended by waves in shallow water is related to the hydrodynamics, the bedstate, and the intensity of turbulence in the wave boundary layer.
