MG44B:
Sediment Delivery, Transport, and Deposition in Shallow-Water Environments I Posters


Session ID#: 28517

Session Description:
Coastal aquatic environments are particularly susceptible to environmental degradation in part because they are shallow and often experience high loadings from rivers and shorelines. Expanding populations stress these regions, and in many cases have contributed to increases in the frequency and severity of unwanted effects, including: coastal erosion, hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, excess turbidity, and high rates of sedimentation. These problems are often tied to sediment transport, such that many nutrients and anthropogenic pollutants are transported with sediments, and sediment-induced turbidity can limit the amount of light available for photosynthesis and visual predators. Sediment transport in coastal waters can create deposits that in some cases are modified or destroyed by subsequent events, while in others may be preserved in the geologic record. Recent advances in theoretical, observational, and numerical modeling techniques have led to increased understanding of the processes and products of sediment delivery, transport and deposition in shallow-water environments: including lakes, estuaries, coasts and continental shelves. This session showcases research relevant to these environments covering physical forcing, particle behavior, modes of transport, biogeochemical feedbacks with sediment, sedimentary response, and event stratigraphy. Studies in this session may derive from field observations, laboratory experiments, and modeling across a range of timescales.
