This paper reviews recent theoretical studies of sand waves which are rhythmic large-scale
bedforms observed in the continental shelf far from the near-shore region. Emphasis is given …

The interaction of tidal currents with a cohesionless sea bottom gives rise to the appearance
of periodic morphological patterns (bedforms) characterized by wavelengths that range from …

Migration of offshore seabed waves, which endangers the stability of pipelines and
communication cables, is hard to measure. The migration rates are small compared to the …

We describe a simple mathematical model capable of reproducing the main features of sand
wave inception and growth. In particular we focus on the prediction of the migration rates …

Sand wave morphology and dynamics on continental shelves vary substantially, and we
hypothesize that these spatial variations depend on local bed properties and hydrodynamic …

The understanding of the morphodynamics of harmonic bed forms on the seabed is
essential for modeling marine sediment transport and coastal morphologic development …

Repeated high-resolution multibeam bathymetric surveys from 2002 through 2006 at the
head of the Monterey Submarine Canyon reveal a sandwave field along the canyon axis …

Sand waves are found on shallow, sandy seabeds throughout the world and their dynamics
may pose an imminent threat to offshore construction. Therefore, there is a pressing need to …

A new method is presented for identifying potential pipeline problems, such as hazardous
exposures. This method comprises a newly developed sand wave amplitude and migration …

A fully three-dimensional model is proposed for the generation of tidal sand waves and sand
banks from small bottom perturbations of a flat seabed subject to tidal currents. The model …
