Sand Ripple Dynamics on the Inner Shelf

Abstract

We seek to improve our understanding of the relationships between hydrodynamics and sediment motion near the seabed, as well as the development of models derived from our understanding of the relevant physical processes. This requires coupling between hydrodynamic forcing, bedform response and feedback, bedload sediment transport response, and the suspended sediment response.
