Journal ArticleDOI
Beach morphology and change along the mixed grain-size delta of the dammed Elwha River, Washington
Jonathan A. Warrick,Douglas A. George,Guy Gelfenbaum,Peter Ruggiero,George M. Kaminsky,Matt Beirne +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of almost a century of sediment supply reduction from the damming of the Elwha River in Washington on shoreline position and beach morphology of its wave-dominated delta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flocculation, heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and the sand–mud transition on the Adriatic continental shelf, Italy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized surficial sediments across two sand-mud transition (SMT) on the Adriatic continental shelf of Italy, with the goal of improving dynamical understanding of the SMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave climate, sediment supply and the depth of the sand-mud transition: A global survey
Douglas A. George,Paul S. Hill +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of wave climate and sediment supply on the depths of sand-mud transitions (hSMT) is investigated based on published granulometric data from surface samples gathered from 14 sites in different wave-dominated coastal environments with fluvial input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of rocky headlands in California with relevance to littoral cell boundary delineation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified headlands along the California coast to advance understanding of headland dynamics and littoral cell boundaries in support of improved coastal management decisions, and quantified geomorphological parameters for 78 headlands from geological maps, remote-sensing imagery, navigational charts, and shoreline geospatial databases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Response of an Estuary Restoration
TL;DR: In this article, an innovative river sediment discharge schematization was developed that connected sediment discharge to morphological change in the estuary, and a conceptual model covering morphology and indicators of physical habitat for three phases of estuary evolution during restoration was presented that could be applied to estuarine systems that are severely out of equilibrium.
