Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from Gull Island, New Jersey, 2021-2022
September 15, 2025
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, collected hydrographic data to investigate sediment exchange between a back barrier marsh and open embayment through a tidal creek near Avalon, NJ, between July 2021 and August 2022. Data collected include time-series measurements of current velocity, water level, water discharge, suspended sediment concentration, suspended sediment flux, and turbulent kinetic energy in the flow.

Seasonal variation in bay-marsh sediment exchange through a back-barrier salt marsh tidal creek Seasonal variation in bay-marsh sediment exchange through a back-barrier salt marsh tidal creek
Salt marsh resilience to sea-level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay-marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh recently subsidized with sediment via thin...
