Sediment transport between estuarine habitats in San Francisco Bay

We investigate mechanisms of sediment transport, resuspension dynamics in shoals, wave evolution in the shallows, wave attenuation in marshes, and transport of sediment between mudflats and marshes. We produce data sets for calibration of and comparison with sediment transport models, including wave parameters, suspended sediment concentration, and sediment flux.

Study Finds Seasonal Differences in Marshland Erosion in South San Francisco Bay

Erosion of marsh boundaries by waves is a major cause of marsh loss, but little research has captured the effect of seasonal differences on marsh-edge...
