This paper summarizes the findings of a workshop convened in the United States in 2018 to
discuss methods in coastal and estuarine modeling and to propose key areas of research …

Sediment dynamics is essential for morphological evolution, water quality, and ecosystem
health in an estuary. Winds and waves have significant effects on vertical stratification …

In an estuary bed composed of very fine sediment material, tidal currents cause active
sediment transportation, bar morphology changes, and severe bank erosion. However, it is …

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are affecting the hydrological conditions of
rivers and may have altered nutrient and suspended sediments released into coastal seas …

We took field observations on the shallow shoals of South San Francisco Bay to examine
how sediment‐induced stratification affects the mean flow and mixing of momentum and …

The turbulent boundary layer generated by wind in the estuarine surface water serves as a
main factor affecting the distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and suspended …

Tidal flats, where significant land‐ocean interactions take place, are often abstracted as a
cross‐shore bed profile with sediment zonation from the lower sand flat to the upper mud …

Hydrodynamics play a critical role in mediating biological and ecological processes and can
have major impacts on the distribution of habitat-forming species. Low-inflow estuaries are …

The dynamics of estuarine sediments plays a key role in the morphological evolution, water
quality, and ecosystem health of estuaries. Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are ubiquitous …

Estuarine hydrodynamics is a key factor for altering the inlet and its adjacent
morphodynamics. Sediment transport in estuaries is controlled by the hydrodynamic action …
