The influence of a slope break on turbidite deposits: An experimental investigation
Florian Pohl,Florian Pohl,Joris T. Eggenhuisen,Matthieu J.B. Cartigny,Michael Tilston,J.R.J. De Leeuw,Navid Hermidas +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the distribution of turbidite deposits as a function of the geometry of slope-break systems in flume experiments, and they show that the depositional pattern in a slope break system is controlled by the steepness of the upper and lower slope, rather than the angle of the slope break.

Morphodynamic Modelling of Intertidal Sediment Transport in Morecambe Bay
David C. Mason,Pradeep Garg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a morphodynamic model for the intertidal region of Morecambe Bay, England, and its calibration and validation using extensive sediment volume change data measured by remote sensing, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic variability on megatidal beaches, Normandy, France
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the hydrodynamics of megatidal beaches outside the surf zone and found that strong longshore currents with velocities up to 0.5m−s −1 were observed on the Cotentin coast of the Cherbourg Peninsula in Normandy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement and modelling of the influence of grain size and pressure gradient on swash uprush sediment transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the dependency between sediment transport rate, q, and grain size, D, (i.e. q∝Dp) in the swash zone using the Meyer-Peter Muller (MPM) transport model.

River-sea transitions of sediment dynamics: A case study of the tide-impacted Yangtze River estuary
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated sediment dynamic transitions in a 660 km long section between the tidal limit and mouth of the Yangtze River, and established a conceptual model of the river-sea transition of sediment dynamics for sediment dynamics in other large tide-dominated estuaries worldwide.
