Observations and modeling of sand transport in a wave dominated environment
Observations of bedforms, suspended sediment and water velocities were used to examine sediment transport processes at the sandy LE0-15 site located off the New Jersey coast. The bedforms were observed during storms using a rotary sidescan sonar and were found to be wave orbital scale ripples. The …

Seasonal precipitation, river discharge, and sediment flux in the western Himalaya
… known about the triggers and sources of peak sediment flux events, which account for extensive hydropower reservoir filling and turbine abrasion. We therefore lack basic information on the distribution of water resources and controls of erosion processes. In this thesis, I employ various …

American rivers are transporting more sediment in less time
Understanding how sediment is produced, mobilized, and delivered through river networks is essential for addressing challenges in water quality, infrastructure management, and landscape evolution. Yet, long-term assessments of sediment dynamics have been hindered by sparse sampling that misses the …

Simulating Anthropogenic and Climatic Influences On Fluvial Sediment Load In the Southeastern U.S. and Central Europe
<p>Quantifying variable riverine sediment discharge over time in response to climate and human pressure is crucial to understanding past, present and future patterns of sediment flux to the worlds' oceans. The need for this data is critical in light of changing anthropogenic activities, global …

Climate-induced trends in global riverine water discharge and suspended sediment dynamics in the 21st century
… distribution, altering fluvial processes such as sediment dynamics and riverine water discharge, worldwide. Changes in the magnitude of fluvial water and sediment fluxes can have profound impacts on the functioning and connectivity of earth’s natural systems. This study is focused on isolating the …

The control of wind and waves on sediment transport asymmetry and the long-term morphological development of estuaries
… uses field measurements, numerical modelling and sediment deposition records to investigate how waves interact with tidal processes and how these interactions influence sediment transport and the non-linear feedbacks between hydrodynamics and estuarine basin morphology. Numerical modelling …
