Dune erosion models and swash zone kinematics from remote video observations

Creator:

Palmsten, Margaret L.

Abstract:

The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Development of 2D models to estimate nearshore bathymetry and sediment transport

Creator:

Splinter, Kristen D.

Abstract:

We examine the interactions and feedbacks between bathymetry, waves, currents, and sediment transport. The ﬁrst two pro jects focus on the use of remote sensing techniques to expand our knowledge of the nearshore. Due to the plethora of snap-shot data that is available from satellites and their distribution via Google...
