Abstract: Data from two recent papers are used to illustrate the effects of change of structure of fine sediment on erosion rates. The paper by Roberts et al. presents erosion rates as functions of bed bulk density and shear stress. ...

Abstract: Suspended sediment transport is simulated in the lower reaches of the Colusa Basin Drain. A one‐dimensional dynamic mathematical and computer model is formulated to simulate suspended mineral sediment, suspended organic ...

Abstract: Suspended sediment is characterized in the lower reaches of the Colusa Basin Drain. Three categories of suspended sediment are identified: mineral sediment, algae, and organic matter. Field data are used to develop functional ...

Abstract: Physical processes constituting fine, cohesive sediment transport in estuarial waters are described. These processes, which include settling and deposition, consolidation, erosion and transport in suspension, are typically ...
