Abstract: To obtain in situ measurements of sediment erodibility in defined bottom shear stress environments, a portable, straight flume was built, tested, and deployed in the field for six experiments at three locations in Quincy ...

Abstract: Calculated annual excess skin friction stress at various locations in Quincy Bay (outer Boston Harbor) was found to be correlated positively with sediment sand content. The correlation was optimized when a critical shear stress (τ
