Three-dimensional acoustic propagation through shallow water internal, surface gravity and bottom sediment waves
… low frequency acoustic interaction with internal waves, bottom sediment waves and surface swell waves that are often observed in shallow waters and on continental slopes. A simple idealized model of the ocean waveguide is used to analytically study the properties of acoustic normal modes and their …

Shallow sea tidal friction and sediment transport
… surprising lack of overall motion of the linear sand ridges that lie within the energetic wind-wave and tidal regime of the Southern Bight. There are many problems associated with the accurate estimation of ocean fluid velocity. However, it was found that this was the only significant parameter …

Geomorphology and Dynamics of a Sand Wave in Lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia
<p>A single, more or less isolated, sand wave in a sand wave field recently discovered in the lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, was studied intensively for morphology, sedimentology and in terms of dynamic processes. The morphologic investigation consisted of bathymetric surveys of the sand wave …

Investigating Regional Patterns of Shoreline Change
… to understand more closely why some areas of sandy coastlines erode and others accrete<—>an intriguing fundamental question and one of societal relevance wherever human coastal infrastructure exists. What are the physical processes driving shoreline change, and over what spatial and temporal …
