An investigation on the modeling of wave field transformation and shoreline morphology near steep bathymetric features

Creator:

Michalsen, David R.

Abstract:

Steep bathymetric anomalies in the beach profile, such as offshore borrow pits, submerged breakwaters, and nearshore canyons can significantly transform the wave climate through the effects of refraction, diffraction, and reflection. When located in the nearshore region the modified wave climate can also substantially change the location of breaking and...

A laboratory experiment on sand bar migration with comparisons to recent models

Creator:

Magalen, Jason

Abstract:

Successful prediction of nearshore sediment migration is important in determining the vulnerability of a coastline. During energetic wave climates (storm events) sediment rapidly erodes from beaches and is deposited offshore. In subsequent milder wave conditions, the sediment migrates shoreward, accreting on the beach and helping to protect the coastline. It...

Hybrid approach to estimating nearshore bathymetry using remote sensing

Creator:

Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.

Abstract:

The characterization of bathymetry and its time evolution is very important for both oceanographic science applications, and for societal reasons relating to coastal engineering and development. Historically, the process of depth surveying has been costly and labor-intensive. This is especially true in nearshore regions, hence a method that is both...
