TL;DR: The physical concepts governing sediment movement in the sea with the minimum of mathematics have been established in this paper, with a focus on the measurement and prediction of sea transportation of sediment, and detailed physical processes within regional sediment circulation patterns.
Abstract: The movement of mud, sand and gravel on the continental shelf, in the nearshore zone, on beaches and in estuaries can be significant in economic and environmental terms. From ease of navigation, to liability to flooding, from sewage and waste disposal to fish populations changes in the deposition and erosion of sedimentary material can have an effect on man's activities in the shoreline zone. Coastal and Estuarine Sediment Dynamics discusses such movements using the different viewpoints of the marine geologists, the oceanographer and the engineer, and integrates them into an essentially multidisciplinary treatment. Quantified descriptions of the physical processes causing sedimentary movement and response are emphasised in the context of natural systems. Among the features included in this book are: Establishment of physical concepts governing sediment movement in the sea with the minimum of mathematics; Essential background material and up-to- date research results; Information on the measurement and prediction of sea transportation of sediment; Detailed physical processes within regional sediment circulation patterns.

TL;DR: In this article, a descriptive classification scheme is developed to unify the approaches of marine geologists and physical oceanographers, which emphasizes the formation and present hydrodynamic setting in their long-term development.

TL;DR: The gaps in current understanding of the erosion, transport and deposition of sediment in estuaries are briefly reviewed in this article, where future work should give priority to the formation, movement and entrainment of high concentration near bed layers, particle interactions, including flocculation, cycling processes, and chemical and biological interactions.
Abstract: The gaps in current understanding of the erosion, transport and deposition of sediment in estuaries are briefly reviewed. It is concluded that future work should give priority to (1) the formation, movement and entrainment of high concentration near bed layers; (2) particle interactions, including flocculation, cycling processes, and chemical and biological interactions; (3) intertidal mudflat processes, sediment exchanges in shallow water and wave induced mud transport; (4) development of improved parameterization of exchange processes for inclusion in 3D mathematical models. (5) development and use of new instrumentation for field measurements, especially of intermittent events, and over the long term. This work should be carried out within interdisciplinary studies involving physicists, sediment dynamicists, biologists, and chemists.

TL;DR: In situ instruments, particularly the instrument INSSEV (in situ settling velocity) have given new information on the sizes, settling velocities and effective densities of individual flocs within the spectrum of distribution.

TL;DR: A review of the sediment facies change through the fluvial-to-marine transition is presented in this article. But the authors focus on the sedimentological responses to these processes, focusing on the observable, longitudinal variations in the development and/or abundance of each deposit characteristic (e.g., sand grain size, paleocurrent patterns, mud drapes, and biological attributes).

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the evolution from an organogenic to a sequence of mineralogenic marshes (transgressive overlaps) is accompanied by the initiation and invasive development of a branching network of tidal creeks.
