Observations of Megaripples

Abstract

The long-term objective is to develop models that predict the generation, evolution, migration, and destruction of seafloor megaripples (bedforms with lengths of order 1-2 m and heights of order 10's of cm) given geological (sediment characteristics, underlying geological framework) and hydrodynamical (waves and currents) conditions.
