The principal investigators will explore terrestrial-to-marine sediment transport using a framework in which rivers and river plumes act as a dynamically coupled system. Laboratory experiments will separately target the hydro- and morphodynamics of the coupled system. Numerical modeling will be used to investigate sediment transport as well as topographic and stratigraphic evolution at the river mouth. Finally, model results will be scaled to the field level to explore implications for the Mississippi and Elwha river and plume systems.

首席研究人员将使用一个框架探索陆地到海洋沉积物的运输，其中河流和河流充当动态耦合的系统。 实验室实验将分别针对耦合系统的水力学和形态动力学。数值建模将用于研究河口的沉积物传输以及地形和地层演变。最后，模型结果将缩放到现场水平，以探索对密西西比河和Elwha河和羽流系统的影响。
