Sediment Redistribution and Seabed Modification in the Western Adriatic

Abstract

This project develops our ability to quantify sediment transport and modifications to the seabed in coastal environments by enhancing numerical representations of sediment transport to account for complex coastal circulation, sediment properties, and realistic wave fields. Calculations made over time scales of months to years can be compared to observations, and the validated model can then used to extrapolate to larger temporal and spatial scales.
