Post-war marine munition dumpsites do exist and are acknowledged by authorities, but their
real extent and their effect onto the environment are mostly unknown. Military historic …

Measurements of seafloor ripples under wave‐dominated conditions from the LEO15 site
and the Martha's Vineyard coastal observatory were used to develop a time‐dependent …

Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine mobility and burial of objects, including
onset of motion on a rigid bottom, scour burial into a sand bed, and the interplay between …

Shipwrecks are an integral part of our maritime archaeological landscape and are
associated with diverse societal and cultural interests, yielding significant management …

On 30 October 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Brigantine New Jersey bringing
widespread erosion and damage to the coastline. We have obtained a unique set of high …

New multibeam echosounder and processing technologies yield sub-meter-scale
bathymetric resolution, revealing striking details of bedform morphology that are shaped by …

Factors that influence equilibrium, scour-induced burial depth (B) in sand relative to object
diameter (D) are examined through analysis of over 750 observations. The main factors that …

High-resolution multibeam sonar and state-of-the-art data processing and visualization
