Use of Sediment Trend Analysis (STA) (Registered) for Coastal Projects

Abstract

The Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) described herein provides information about the use of Sediment Trend Analysis (STA)(Registered) for estimating net sediment pathways in coastal and estuarine environments. The STA technique is based on analyses of sediment samples collected over a uniform grid in the region of interest, and it provides maps indicating sediment pathways, erosion and accretion areas, and areas that are in dynamic equilibrium.
