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

 

Selected publications:

 

Longshore Sediment Transport

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

 

Longshore Sediment Flux in Water Colum and Across Surf Zone
