A comphehaensive field study of tidal inlet processes at ponce de leon inlet,florida

摘要

Traditional coastal engineering concerns at tidal inlets include navigation and channel maintenance.Today coastal engineers are faced with new concerns such as adjacent shoreline impacts,water quality,and wetalnds preservation.The developemtn fo new engineering tools to address these problems depends on improved understanding of tidal inlet proceses.A necessary component of htis reaserch is comprehensiv efield measuremnt of the ocmplex hydrodynmaic and sedimentation processes at tidal inlets (Mehta,1995).
