Modeling Sediment Erosion and Redistribution in Fine-Grained Shelf Environments

چکیده
My long-term goal within the EuroSTRATAFORM program is to increase our ability to predict sediment transport in fine-grained regions of the continental shelf. Field work and the development and application of models during STRATAFORM increased our understanding of these processes and improved our ability to predict them. The Adriatic and Gulf of Lions EuroSTRATAFORM sites offer characteristics (forcing, margin configuration) that contrast with the Eel shelf STRATAFORM study area. Testing and extending our conceptual and numerical sediment transport models at these sites is an important goal of the EuroSTRATAFORM shelf process studies.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Near-Bed Sediment Flux Sensor
Our research program focuses on identifying and quantifying sediment erosion, transport, and deposition processes on the continental shelf through state-of-the-art observational techniques in both fine grained and sandy environments. In sandy environments our goal is to understand the detailed interactions and feedbacks between hydrodynamics, bedforms, and the resulting sand transport. In fine-...

Summary Data from cores collected from sites that were beneath the Ross Ice Shelf until 2000 and 2002 indicate that sub-ice shelf lithofacies are distinguishable from sub-glacial and glacial marine facies. Glacial marine sedi...
