The physics of sediment transport, resuspension and deposition is reviewed. First, the general problem is described and then emphasis is given to recent quantitative research in Lakes Ontario, Michigan and Erie. In this discussion, some original calculations are presented to show that Ekman layer se

Sediments were sampled from 62 sites in the Kattegat and Skagerrak, which are located between the Baltic and the North Sea in the Western Atlantic, during autumn 1989 and spring 1990. From each site 5 to 6 samples were taken wit ha box-corer. After mixing to composite samples on board, transport and
Instrumented moorings were deployed during the winter of 1994–95 at three depths (28, 58 and 101 m) in southern Lake Michigan. Storms during the observation period were not unusually severe, so the processes observed are typical of those that occur during an average winter. Time series observations
A comparative study on the properties and transport of the cohesive sediments in the mouths of the Changjiang Estuary proves that the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is principally enhanced by the resuspension of bottom sediment in the mouth-bar reach, coupled with the deformed tidal wave and
