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…

Rapid Formation and Degradation of Barrier Spits in Areas with Low Rates of Littoral Drift Aubrey, D.G. and A.G. Gaines Jr. Marine Geology, Vol. 49, pp. 257-278, 1982 WHOI-R-82-018 Three possible mechanisms cause barrier spits to elongate; two are generally known, while a third is presented in this paper. The most commonly cited mechanism for…
