A general formula for non-cohesive bed load sediment transport

TL;DR: In this paper, a bed load transport formula for non-cohesive sediment, based on the bed-shear concept of Meyer-Peter and Muller, was developed and validated for steady flows, oscillatory flows, and combined steady and oscillatory flow.

Hydrodynamic forcing on salt-marsh development: Distinguishing the relative importance of waves and tidal flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared hydrodynamic forcing in terms of proxies relevant to bed sediment motion for four contrasting tidal flat and salt-marsh ecosystems, and found that the hyddynamic forcing on the bottom sediment (bed shear stress) was strongly influenced by wind-generated waves, more so than by tidal or wind-drive currents.

Dune Erosion During Storm Surges

TL;DR: In this paper, a large scale dune erosion experiment was conducted to obtain better insight in near dune hydrodynamics, sediment transport and the interaction between dune face and swash zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controls on river delta formation; insights from numerical modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled hydrodynamic-morphodynamic-stratigraphic detailed numerical modeling was used to assess the influence of wind-generated waves and tides on clastic river delta formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphodynamics of tidal networks: advances and challenges

TL;DR: The approach to long-term predictions is discussed, the coupling between physical and biological processes are focused on, and the role of anthropic drivers in the evolution of these systems are introduced.
