Three-Dimensional Modeling of Sediment Trapping and Dispersal on River-Influenced Continental Shelves

Abstract

The long-term goals of this program are to understand the mechanics of sediment delivery, transport and accumulation on the continental shelf, and to develop predictive models of sediment dispersal and sedimentary strata formation.
