An instrument system for long-term sediment transport studies on the continental shelf
A bottom-mounted instrument system has been designed and built to monitor processes of bottom-sediment movement on the Continental Shelf. The system measures bottom current speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and light transmission, and photographs the bottom. The instrument operates in a burst sample mode. The system can be deployed for periods of 2-6 months to monitor intermittent proces

Bottom currents and bottom sediment distribution in Massachusetts Bay
Massachusetts Bay is a coastal Bay 100 km long and 40 km wide located in the western Gulf of Maine. The Bay is open only to the Gulf to the east; the opening is partially blocked by a shallow bank. The bottom sediment distribution in the bay is complex; fine grained material is found in the deep basin, sand and gravel on the shallow bank, and mixtures of sand, gravel and finer sediments nearshore.
