Before wave/current and sediment transport were reliably modeled by computers, the US Army Corp used physical models.

Although less of this kind of detailed modeling is done these days…modeling facilities are becoming more sophisticated in terms of instrumentation and the kinds of questions that can be studied.

These things are related. The Eel River drainage has some of the highest bed load transport of sediment of any west coast river, especially surprising given its far lower discharge. This is attributed to the fact that the extensive faulting system from the Mendocino Fault Zone come ashore into the Eel River Valley.

This area has gone through some stuff…and it is reflected in the sediment load.

I look at that and the first things I see are longshore drift, coarsening sediments on ramp and a woody storm lag deposit!

Nice process capture in a single pic.

Other nice stuff too.

I'm new to Mastodon, so here's my !

I'm Sophie (she/her), a 1st-year PhD student at in the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. I'm working on experiments to investigate the effect of stress history on erodible beds. I'm broadly interested in and 🏞️ 🌊

I'm originally from ( 🦅 ), but now I enjoy and the Bay Area!

Love seeing the little dunes cannibalizing the big dunes on the falling limb of a hydrograph 😍
