Wave-Sediment Interaction in Muddy Environments: A Field Experiment

Abstract

The long-term goal of the proposed work is to study and describe quantitatively the interaction between wave, currents and seabed sediments in shallow water over a bed characterized by heterogeneous, mud-dominated sediments. This report includes two projects: 1. "Wave-Sediment Interaction in Muddy Environments: A Field Experiment" funded by Coastal Geosciences, The Coastal Geosciences project includes a field experiment on the Atchafalaya shelf, Louisiana, in Years 1 and 2 (2007-2008) and a data analysis and modeling effort in Year 3 (2009). 2. "A System for Monitoring Wave-Sediment Interaction in Muddy Environments" funded by The DURIP program.
