Hydrodynamic Stresses Driving Pore Pressure Changes in Sandy Coastal Sediments

Abstract

The project is directed toward the quantification of the first order forces responsible for the dynamic pore pressure behavior in sandy seafloor sediments in response to wave-induced bottom stresses. The effort is based on a three-dimensional field measurement approach. This project is 1) quantifying the ambient and dynamic pore water pressures and pore water pressure changes in selected coastal sediments and 2) measuring other environmental parameters in support of a NATO Mine Burial modeling study.
