Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and the movement of...

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of...

fluvial sediment processes or fluvial sediment transport are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by sediments. It can...

sedimentary rock, from initial erosion through sediment transport and settling to the lithification of the sediments. However, the strict geological definition...

and can transport heavier clastic material. Besides transport by water, sediment can be transported by wind or glaciers. Sediment transported by wind...

Coastal sediment transport (a subset of sediment transport) is the interaction of coastal land forms to various complex interactions of physical processes...

Offshore transport Deposition of sediment on shore Gullies through the land This sediment then enters the coastal system and is transported by longshore...

California, Berkeley. Einstein was widely recognized for his research on sediment transport. To honor his outstanding achievement in hydraulic engineering, the...

to result in net onshore sediment transport. If the beachface is steeper than the equilibrium gradient, the sediment transport is dominated by the backwash...

Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor. These particles either...

biological processes of the North Pacific Ocean, including nutrient and sediment transport, major pacific storm tracks and regional climate, and Pacific mode...

Pelagic sediment or pelagite is a fine-grained sediment that accumulates as the result of the settling of particles to the floor of the open ocean, far...

28,000 tonnes of suspended sediment and a similar amount of bedload to the terminal swamps. Most of the particulate sediment carried by the river is fine...

three layers of the fluvial sediment transportation system. The bed load consists of the larger sediment which is transported by saltation, rolling, and...

geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface...

to sedimentary rocks and particles in sediment transport, whether in suspension or as bed load, and in sediment deposits. Clastic sedimentary rocks are...

Delta. The annual sediment transport by the Nile in Egypt has been quantified. At Aswan: 0.14 million tonnes of suspended sediment and an additional 28%...

reduced the annual transport rate to between 100-150 million tons of sediment per year. The artificial structures trap suspended sediment from traveling as...

preferred for its lack of ambiguity. The origin of the increased sediment transport into an area may be erosion on land or activities in the water. In...

indicates paleocurrent, the rough direction of sediment transport. The type and condition of sediments can tell geologists the type of environment (rounding...

bed material load. The bed material load is the portion of the sediment that is transported by a stream that contains material derived from the bed. Bed...

river systems. As a result, sediment from tributaries and headwaters are deposited at the mouth of the river. Long shore transport is a linear current off...

A sediment gravity flow is one of several types of sediment transport mechanisms, of which most geologists recognize four principal processes. These flows...

Alongshore sediment transport can cause inlets to close if the action of tidal currents flowing through an inlet do not flush accumulated sediment out of...

speculative. Onshore transport of sediment is considered a secondary sediment source for the Canterbury Bight. In the offshore zone, sediment movement is unimpeded...

skewness and asymmetry of surface gravity waves are the main drivers for sediment transport. Sinusoidal waves (or linear waves) are waves having equal height...
