Field Measurements of Sediment Transport Processes in STRATAFORM: Extended Duration Observations

Abstract

The long-term goal of the sediment dynamics component of STRATAFORM is to link sediment transport processes on the continental shelf and slope to the formation and preservation of event beds in sediment deposits. Our objective is to investigate sediment dispersal mechanisms on the continental shelf and slope. We have maintained long-term monitoring instrumentation in support of these investigations.
