Breaking waves predict sediment concentration, revolutionizing coastal erosion prevention.

Coastal Dynamics

The article explores how sediment moves in the ocean when waves and currents are present. Scientists studied how sediment transport changes with different wave heights and current speeds. They used models to estimate sediment movement and conducted experiments in a lab. The results showed that sediment transport rates can vary depending on wave height and current direction. This research helps us understand how sediment moves in coastal areas, which is important for managing erosion and deposition.
