This paper summarizes the findings of a workshop convened in the United States in 2018 to
discuss methods in coastal and estuarine modeling and to propose key areas of research …

In rivers, coastal seas and transitional waters, sediment transport processes involve a variety
of interacting factors that dynamically vary over time and space. The flow dynamics within …

Mud depocenters (MDCs) represent major proximal-marine sinks for fine-grained
terrigenous material, carbon, and contaminants on modern continental shelves. Throughout …

Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are an important source of renewable energy accounting for
2.3% of the European Union's electricity demand. Yet their impact on the environment needs …

Marine aggregates are the vector for biogenically bound carbon and nutrients from the
euphotic zone to the interior of the oceans. To improve the representation of this biological …

Coastal environments are directly influenced by terrigenous inputs coming from rivers
through estuaries. Quantifying the amount of nutrients and contaminants transported by …

Estuarine and coastal regions are often characterized by a high variability of suspended
sediment concentrations in their waters, which influences dredging projects, contaminant …

Sediment transport models, utilized to guide land management in the Great Barrier Reef
(GBR), assume settling velocities for individual silt and clay particles on the order of 0.01 …

Estuarine dams are constructed for securing freshwater resources, flood control, and
improving upstream navigability. However, their impact on estuarine currents, stratification …

The accuracy of sediment transport models depends on the selection of an appropriate
sediment settling velocity. In general, settling velocity is primarily dependent on the size and …
