Theoretical and Observational Estimates of Nearshore Bedload Transport Rates
Theoretical and Observational Estimates of Nearshore Bedload Transport Rates Goud, M.R. and D.G. Aubrey Marine Geology, Vol. 64, pp. 91-111, 1985 WHOI-R-85-001 Sediment transport rates in a shallow (<3 m) nearshore region are estimated using theoretical models and using bedform migration rates measured from vertical aerial photographs covering a 10-year interval. Theoretical rates based solely…

Updrift Migration of Tidal Inlets Aubrey, D.G. and P.E. Speer Journal of Geology, Vol. 92, pp. 531-545, 1984 WHOI-R-84-009 Migration of tidal inlets and the associated changes in adjacent barrier beaches have profound implications on both the geological evolution of inlet/estuary systems and the short-term stability of these features. Past studies have documented many instances…
