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 …

A 147 km longitudinal transect of flocculated cohesive sediment properties in San Francisco
Bay (SFB) was conducted on June 17th, 2008. Our aim was to determine the factors that …

The quantity of suspended sediment in an estuary is regulated either by transport, where
energy or time needed to suspend sediment is limiting, or by supply, where the quantity of …

Water-quality managers desire information on the temporal and spatial variability of
contaminant concentrations and the magnitudes of watershed and bed-sediment loads in …

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 …

Over 150 million m 3 of sand-sized sediment has disappeared from the central region of the
San Francisco Bay Coastal System during the last half century. This enormous loss may …

Abstract The morphology of~ 45,000 bedforms from 13 multibeam bathymetry surveys was
used as a proxy for identifying net bedload sediment transport directions and pathways …

Sediment exchange at large energetic inlets is often difficult to quantify due complex flows,
massive amounts of water and sediment exchange, and environmental conditions limiting …

Spatial trends in the shape of profiles of South San Francisco Bay (SSFB) tidal flats are
examined using bathymetric and lidar data collected in 2004 and 2005. Eigenfunction …

Abstract The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) is
a novel partnership between regulatory agencies and the regulated community to provide …
