Sediment Transport And Erodibility In The York River Estuary: A Model Study, Jeffrey Paul Rinehimer

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
A cohesive sediment bed model was implemented in the Community Sediment Transport Modeling System (CSTMS) to examine processes influencing sediment erodibility and suspended sediment concentrations. Estimates of eroded mass from the sediment bed model were calibrated and verified with erosion chamber measurements from the York River, Virginia, a tidally-dominated environment. A constant erosion rate parameter combined with depth-varying critical shear stress was sufficient to model erosion observations of depth-limited sediment cores. Sensitivity of total eroded mass to seasonal variations in erodibility and changes in consolidation time scale was evaluated during spring-neap variations in bottom stresses. Differences were greatest during spring …
Factors Controlling Tidal Flat Morphology In South San Francisco Bay Between The 1890s And 2005, Joshua Alexander Bearman
Factors Controlling Tidal Flat Morphology In South San Francisco Bay Between The 1890s And 2005, Joshua Alexander Bearman

There is currently a project underway to restore many of the man-made salt ponds along the shores of South San Francisco Bay (SSFB) back to tidal marsh, potentially reestablishing these areas as sinks for SSFB sediments. While there have been recent studies examining the evolution of newly restored marsh areas in SSFB, there have been no recent projects focusing on the expected response of valuable tidal flat environments adjacent to the restored marshes. To help fill this void, this project seeks to characterize SSFB tidal flat morphodynamics, both spatially and temporally, through examination of historic morphologic variability and change along …
