Journal ArticleDOI
Constructional shelf topography, Diamond Shoals, North Carolina
TL;DR: The surficial sand sheet seaward of Diamond Shoals on the North Carolina shelf is molded into a series of coast-parallel ridges as much as 10 m high and 5 km apart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of continental shelf marine geotechnics: Distribution of soils, measurement of properties, and environmental hazards
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used self-contained or wireline static cone penetrometers to obtain in situ measurements of sands and silty sands on the continental shelf. And they used dynamic piston corers and hydraulically activated incremental corers for marine use.
Patent
Piezoelectric sediment particle transport detector
TL;DR: A sand transport detector which detects the discrete impingements of sand particles on an elongated probe member inserted into the sand is presented in this article, where a piezoelectric transducer element is cemented to the probe and produces an output signal when impingement occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erosion of submarine outcrops, La Jolla submarine canyon, California
TL;DR: In this article, a submersible operating within the sinuous central segment of La Jolla submarine canyon has provided spectacular examples of erosion at two outcrops below a depth of 300 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some simple devices for the study of wave induced surges
TL;DR: In this paper, the pendulum principle was used to indicate current strength of a wave near bottom in the inner continental shelf, and several designs that can be visually observed, record in situ, or using strain gauges have been field tested and yield comparable results.
