STRATAFORM PLUME STUDY: Analyses of Mooring Data and Associated Tasks
Abstract
The overall goal of the ONR STRATAFORM program is to advance our understanding of the formation of stratigraphic sequences on continental shelves and slopes. Our research program focuses on identifying and quantifying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition processes on the continental shelf through state of the art observational techniques in both fine-grained and sandy environments. In sandy environments our goal is to understand the detailed interactions and feedback between hydrodynamics, bedforms, and the resulting sand transport. In fine-grained environments, we have been investigating the role of fluid mud flows as a cross-shore transport mechanism.
