Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

Creator:

Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)

Abstract:

Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Carmine C
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...
