The purpose of this data file, which has been modelled
after Hathaway (1971), is to make available most of the basic
data that was collected as part of Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution's study of New Bedford Harbor. The New Bedford
Harbor project, which was jointly funded by the Office of
Sea Grant and Woods Hole, was designed to examine the past
and present patterns of dispersal and accumulation of fine-grained
sediments and waste materials in New Bedford Harbor
and its approaches.

Effects of estuarine and fluvial processes on sediment transport over deltaic tidal flats
(2012-01-25)Tidal flats at a river mouth feature estuarine and fluvial processes that distinguish them from tidal flats without river discharge. We combine field observations and a numerical model to investigate hydrodynamics and ... -
Decadal-timescale estuarine geomorphic change under future scenarios of climate and sediment supply
(Springer, 2009-12-19)Future estuarine geomorphic change, in response to climate change, sea-level rise, and watershed sediment supply, may govern ecological function, navigation, and water quality. We estimated geomorphic changes in Suisun ... -
Mixing of dissolved oxygen in Chesapeake Bay driven by the interaction between wind-driven circulation and estuarine bathymetry
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016-08-08)Field observations collected in Chesapeake Bay demonstrate how wind-driven circulation interacts with estuarine bathymetry to control when and where the vertical mixing of dissolved oxygen occurs. In the across-Bay direction, ...
