Tidal Channel Dynamics and Muddy Substrates: A Comparison between a Wave Dominated and a Tidal Dominated System

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: *To link the geotechnical properties of sediment substrates to the spatial and hydrodynamic characteristics of tidal channels *To develop new morphological indicators of tidal flat morphodynamics that can be easily derived from remote sensing images. To link these indicators to mechanical properties of tidal flat substrates
