Seagrass beds alter their hydrodynamic environment by inducing drag on the flow, thereby attenuating wave energy and near-bottom currents. This alters the turbulent structure and shear stresses within and around the seagrass bed that are responsible for the suspension and deposition of sediment. To quantify these interactions, velocity, pressure, and sediment measurements were obtained across a...

Rivers are relief features susceptible to change over time more than any other. Dynamic and intensity of those changes depend on a series of factors that have been a research topic for decades, all with the goal of predicting and/or preventing changes that have a negative effect on ecological and administrative systems alike. This is especially evident on big river systems. The topic of water c...

A diverse suite of erosional features along the shoreline Lehtma (Hiiumaa Island, Estonia) is used to assess their morphodynamic context and preservation potential. The Holocene strandplain east-facing (leeward) has experienced rapid retreat due anthropogenically induced sediment deficit. study site located just updrift erosional-depositional fulcrum segment, with southerly longshore transport ...

Sediment deposits formed mainly under the influence of bottom currents (contourites) are widely used as high-resolution archives for reconstructing past ocean conditions. However, driving processes Contourite Depositional Systems (CDS) not entirely understood. The aim this study is to establish a clearer link between contourite features and oceanographic that form them. morphosedimentary charac...
