The USF Coastal Research Lab has been conducting research on nearshore sediment transport for over a decade. Our research includes both field and laboratory studies on sediment transport processes in the surf zone.

Research and publications include:

 

Longshore sediment transport

 

JSR paper

Cross-shore Distribution of Sediment Texture Under Breaking Waves Along Low-wave-Energy Coasts

 

JWPCOE (Paper 1)

Longshore Sediment Flux in Water Column and Across Surf Zone

 

JWPCOE (Paper 2)

Longshore Sediment Transport Rate Measured by Short-term Impoundment
