Sediment Transport in Coastal Environments
Coral Reef Project
Time-series data of water surface elevation, waves, currents, temperature, and turbidity collected between November 2017 and March 2018 off the west coast of Maui, Hawaii, USA
Cross-reef wave and water level data from coral reef environments (ver. 3.0, January 2024)
Jurabi, Exmouth, Western Australia, 2016 Coral Reef Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Experiment
Waiakane, Molokai, HI, 2018 Coral Reef Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Experiment
Observations of coral reef oceanographic and groundwater properties off Makua, Kauai, HI, USA, August 2016
Time series data of oceanographic conditions from La Parguera, Puerto Rico, 2017-2018 Coral Reef Circulation and Sediment Dynamics Experiment
Time-series oceanographic data from the Monterey Canyon, CA October 2015 - March 2017
Bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter, and time-series datasets collected between 2014 and 2016 of a field of crescent-shaped rippled scour depressions in northern Monterey Bay, California
Data from coastal circulation and water-column properties in the National Park of American Samoa, February-July 2015
Extreme low-frequency waves on the Ofu, American Samoa, reef flat
Combining field observations and high-resolution numerical modeling to demonstrate the effect of coral reef roughness on turbulence and its implications for reef restoration design
Carbonate sediment transport across coral reefs: A comparison of fringing vs. barrier reefs
Wave-scale observations of sediment resuspension and subsequent transport across a fringing reef flat
Observations of coastal circulation, waves, and sediment transport along West Maui, Hawaiʻi (November 2017– March 2018), and modeling effects of potential watershed restoration on decreasing sediment loads to adjacent coral reefs
Rapid observations of ocean dynamics and stratification along a steep island coast during Hurricane María
Hurricanes are extreme storms that affect coastal communities, but the linkages between hurricane forcing and ocean dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we present full water column observations at unprecedented resolution from the southwest Puerto Rico insular shelf and slope during Hurricane María, representing a rare set of high-frequency, subsurface, oceanographic observations collected al
Preconditioning by sediment accumulation can produce powerful turbidity currents without major external triggers
The contribution of currents, sea-swell waves, and infragravity waves to suspended-sediment transport across a coral reef-lagoon system.
Spectral wave-driven bedload transport across a coral reef flat/lagoon complex
In situ observations of wave transformation and infragravity bore development across reef flats of varying geomorphology
Lessons learned from monitoring of turbidity currents and guidance for future platform designs
What determines the downstream evolution of turbidity currents?
