Wave-Sediment Interaction in Muddy Environments: Subbottom Field Experiment

Abstract

The proposed work investigates quantitatively the interaction between wave, currents and seabed sediments in shallow water over a bed characterized by heterogeneous, mud-dominated sediments. The long-term goal of is to develop an approach to characterize accurately the state of a muddy sea bed, based on minimal prior information about bed sediment, and remote observations of surface waves and currents.
