Sediment Transport by Internal Waves in EUROSTRATAFORM

Abstract

This project investigates the role that internal waves might have in sediment transport in the EUROSTRATAFORM project. The overall long-term project goal is to determine the modes and mechanisms of transport of bottom and suspended sediment by internal waves. The specific goal of this work is to use available and newly acquired data on internal waves and density structure in the Adriatic Sea to investigate internal wave effects on sedimentation.
