Resuspension and Redistribution of Sediments in Hamilton Harbour

The size distribution of sediments in Hamilton Harbour is a result of both natural and human processes. The objective is to predict the behavior of sediment particles in the harbor, assuming wind driven resuspension to be the major natural factor controlling grain size distribution. In this approach hydraulic sorting of sediments was assumed to be entirely predictable from 10 years of wind direction and velocity data used to calculate fetch …
