Sediment Transport in the Eel River Plume

Abstract

The goals of this study are 1) to characterize the fluid and sediment transport processes within the Eel River plume and their influence on the delivery of sediment to flood deposits on the continental shelf; 2) to develop an advanced, hydrodynamic model to simulate the key physical mechanisms influencing sediment transport in the plume.
