ESTIMATING ALONGSHORE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT FROM DREDGED ACCESS CHANNELS

Estimating fluvial sediment transport: The rating parameters

Correlations between suspended sediment load rating parameters, river basin morphology, and climate provide information about the physical controls on the sediment load in rivers and are used to create predictive equations for the sediment rating parameters. Long-term time-averaged values of discharge, suspended load, flow duration, flow peakedness, and temporally averaged values of precipitati...

Wave Transformation and Alongshore Sediment Transport Due to Obliquely Oriented Shoreface-connected Ridges

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present work is funded by the United States Geological Survey Hurricane Sandy, Fire Island Physical Processes Study under project number 2006V38. I want to thank my advisor, Dr. Kevin Haas, for giving me the chance to join his research team, supporting me with my work, teaching me patiently, giving me advice in every aspect and for repeatedly reviewing my thesis. The past y...

Determination and fractionation of sulphur in a contaminated dredged sediment.

Conversion of sulphur compounds in reduced, contaminated sediments that are brought in upland conditions may largely affect the potential mobility of heavy metal contaminants. We applied selected methods for the determination of total sulphur and sulphur fractions in a contaminated sediment in the reduced state and after gradual drying and oxidation during 1 month. Dry ashing, followed by ion c...

Sediment Recycling: Marsh Renourishment Through Dredged Material Disposal

Sediment transport-storage relations for degrading, gravel bed channels

[1] In a drainage network, sediment is transferred through a series of channel/valley segments (natural sediment storage reservoirs) that are distinguished from their neighbors by their particular capacity to store and transport sediment. We propose that the sediment transport capacity of each reservoir is a unique positive function of storage volume, which influences sediment mobility and avai...
