The offshore export of sand during exceptional discharge from California rivers The offshore export of sand during exceptional discharge from California rivers
Littoral cells along active tectonic margins receive large inputs of sand and gravel from coastal watersheds and commonly lose this sediment to submarine canyons. One hypothesis is that the majority of coarse (sand and gravel) river sediment discharge will be emplaced within and immediately “resupply” local littoral cells. A competing hypothesis is that the infrequent, large floods that...

A seamless, high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the north-central California coast A seamless, high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the north-central California coast
A seamless, 2-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the north-central California coast has been created from the most recent high-resolution bathymetric and topographic datasets available. The DEM extends approximately 150 kilometers along the California coastline, from Half Moon Bay north to Bodega Head. Coverage extends inland to an elevation of +20 meters and offshore to...

Synthesis study of an erosion hot spot, Ocean Beach, California Synthesis study of an erosion hot spot, Ocean Beach, California
A synthesis of multiple coastal morphodynamic research efforts is presented to identify the processes responsible for persistent erosion along a 1-km segment of 7-km-long Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California. The beach is situated adjacent to a major tidal inlet and in the shadow of the ebb-tidal delta at the mouth of San Francisco Bay. Ocean Beach is exposed to a high-energy wave...

Beach response dynamics of a littoral cell using a 17-year single-point time series of sand thickness Beach response dynamics of a littoral cell using a 17-year single-point time series of sand thickness
A 17-year time series of near-daily sand thickness measurements at a single intertidal location was compared with 5 years of semi-annual 3-dimensional beach surveys at the same beach, and at two other beaches within the same littoral cell. The daily single point measurements correlated extremely well with the mean beach elevation and shoreline position of ten high-spatial resolution...

Nearshore bathymetric evolution on a high-energy beach during the 2009-10 El Nino winter Nearshore bathymetric evolution on a high-energy beach during the 2009-10 El Nino winter
The nearshore bathymetric evolution of a high-energy beach at the mouth of San Francisco Bay, California (USA), was tracked before, during, and after the powerful El Niño winter of 2009-10 to quantify alongshore bar formation and migration as well as the magnitude and alongshore variability of cross-shore transport. The observed deep-water winter wave energy was among the highest ever...

Small-scale sediment transport patterns and bedform morphodynamics: New insights from high resolution multibeam bathymetry Small-scale sediment transport patterns and bedform morphodynamics: New insights from high resolution multibeam bathymetry
New multibeam echosounder and processing technologies yield sub-meter-scale bathymetric resolution, revealing striking details of bedform morphology that are shaped by complex boundary-layer flow dynamics at a range of spatial and temporal scales. An inertially aided post processed kinematic (IAPPK) technique generates a smoothed best estimate trajectory (SBET) solution to tie the vessel...
