Rivers and Inlets DRI: Plume, Sediment and Bed Dynamics at the Columbia River Bar

Abstract

Our long terms goals are to understand sediment transport processes, the relevant physical forcing processes and the resulting morphologic evolution of river mouths and tidal inlets and shoals. Specific goals include understanding the interactions between frontal dynamics, turbulence, sediment transport and bedform evolution under extreme current- and wave-forcing conditions.
