Intertidal Bedforms and Bedload Transport on Spratt Sand, Teignmouth (UK)

P. Hoekstra, Paul S. Bell, Pim van Santen, Niels Roode

Abstract

Bedload transport on Spratt Sand is a result of migrating bedforms and a lack of sediment clearly limits the growth and development of these bedforms. Maximum bedload transport based on dune-tracking is observed for a combination of waves and currents, probably due to an increase in migration rates rather than an increase in ripple dimensions.
