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

Abstract

The goal of this project is to quantify processes that transport sediment in the coastal ocean and subsequently modify the seabed using a combination of numerical and observational techniques. We can use a numerical model that accounts for several processes that transport sediment to compare their relative contributions to transport, and modifications of the seabed.
