The long-term goal of our research program is to advance scientific understanding and predictive modeling of sediment-transport processes in coastal and estuarine environments. The processes are important to the Navy because they define the tactical environment in shallow water and directly affect optical and acoustic properties of the water column. The resulting seabed structure and morphology affect acoustic backscatter and ability to locate objects on or near the bottom. Predictive capabilities for coastal sedimentary processes are also of great interest to geologists, coastal resource managers, and environmental scientists interested in mitigating coastal hazards, protecting or restoring coastal resources, or remediating contaminated marine environments.
