Like many estuaries, the upper Chesapeake Bay effectively traps sediment from its
tributaries and shorelines. However, evolving sediment dynamics from human influences …

This review aims to synthesize the current knowledge of sediment dynamics using insights
from long‐term research conducted in the watershed draining to the Chesapeake Bay, the …

Understanding the sources and sinks of suspended sediment in Chesapeake Bay tributaries
is an important contribution to quantifying the Bay sediment budget, as well as an aid to …

ABSTRACT Palinkas, CM; Barth, N.; Koch, EW, and Shafer, DJ, 2016. The influence of
breakwaters on nearshore sedimentation patterns in Chesapeake Bay, USA. This study …

Chesapeake Bay is a depositional basin that is filling from both ends and the sides. During
the century ended in the mid-1950s between 1.0 x 109 and 2.92 x 109 metric tons of …

Rapid sedimentation in the upper and central portions of tributary estuaries of the
Chesapeake Bay typically has been attributed to clearing of land and subsequent upland …

Abstract We calculated Chesapeake Bay (CB) sediment and carbon fluxes before and after
major anthropogenic land clearance using robust monitoring, modeling and sedimentary …

Abstract In Humboldt Bay, tectonic subsidence exacerbates sea-level rise (SLR). To build
surface elevations and to keep pace with SLR, the sediment demand created by subsidence …

Quantifying suspended sediment loads is important for managing the world's estuaries in the
context of navigation, pollutant transport, wetland restoration, and coastal erosion. To …

A sediment budget for the Choptank River, one of the three largest estuaries on the eastern
shore of Chesapeake Bay, was developed from measurements of sediment carried in …
