The papers in this special issue feature state-of-the-art approaches to understanding the
physical processes related to sediment transport and geomorphology of complex coastal …

Anthropogenic and climatic forces have modified the geomorphology of tidal wetlands over
a range of timescales. Changes in land use, sediment supply, river flow, storminess, and sea …

This study investigates the possibility of hindcasting‐observed decadal‐scale morphologic
change in San Pablo Bay, a subembayment of the San Francisco Estuary, California, USA …

Abstract San Pablo Bay is a tidal sub-embayment of the San Francisco Estuary which is
dominated by broad shallow shoals bisected by a deep channel. Under the conceptual …

Anticipated sea level rise (SLR) threatens intertidal areas and associated ecosystems in
estuaries worldwide. There is a need to develop validated modeling tools to assess the …

In San Francisco Bay (SFB), light availability is largely determined by the concentration of
suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the water column. SPM exhibits substantial variation …

Numerical models of sediment transport in estuarine systems rely on parameter values that
are often poorly constrained and can vary on timescales relevant to model processes. The …

Bathymetric measurements show that a deep, subtidal channel in San Pablo Bay, California,
has consistently narrowed during the past 150 years. This raises general questions on the …

The objective of this research is to investigate the governing processes that drive
morphodynamic evolution in alluvial estuaries by application of a process-based numerical …

Abstract The San Francisco Estuary, in central California, has several long-running
monitoring programs that have been used to reveal human-induced changes throughout the …
