Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and the movement of...

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of...

sedimentary rock, from initial erosion through sediment transport and settling to the lithification of the sediments. However, the strict geological definition...

and can transport heavier clastic material. Besides transport by water, sediment can be transported by wind or glaciers. Sediment transported by wind...

biological processes of the North Pacific Ocean, including nutrient and sediment transport, major pacific storm tracks and regional climate, and Pacific mode...

fluvial sediment processes or fluvial sediment transport are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by sediments. It can...

importance to sediment transport. This then led to the development in the concept of "longshore currents," which in turn transport sediment along the coast...

Coastal sediment transport (a subset of sediment transport) is the interaction of coastal land forms to various complex interactions of physical processes...

to result in net onshore sediment transport. If the beachface is steeper than the equilibrium gradient, the sediment transport is dominated by the backwash...

Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor. These particles either...
