Bedforms and Mine Burial

The generation and migration of bedforms (eg, ripples, megaripples and sand bars) on sandy bottoms in the nearshore (0-8 m water depths) provides a mechanism for objects on the seafloor to become buried. As a bedform migrates past a mine, the mine will fall to the low point of the bedform trough before subsequently being buried by the passage of the following bedform crest. The statistics of mi...

Hypothermia during Avalanche Burial

Core body temperature cooling during avalanche burial results in hypothermia, and further core temperature cooling during extrication and evacuation of an avalanche burial victim may result in more severe hypothermia. We performed two studies measuring the rate of core body temperature cooling during snow burial and after extrication from snow burial. Subjects were completely buried in a large ...

Bedform Dynamics and Mine Burial

Large bedforms in the nearshore (with heights of 10 – 50 cm and lengths of 1-10 m) are observed to occur frequently and to be ubiquitous throughout the surf zone (e.g., Clifton et al. 1971, Gallagher et al. 2002, Hay and Wilson 1994, Thornton et al. 1998). However, their dynamics are poorly understood and they are generally neglected in models of sediment transport, morphology change and nearsh...
