Summary | The proposed effort is to use an amphibious surf zone crawler to test the hypothesis that heterogeneity of coastal subaerial and subaqueous morphology on many scales is correlated with heterogeneity in surface sediments, which influence the morphodynamics. The development and field evaluation of the surf zone crawler encompasses a significant portion of this effort. The assessment of the surf zone crawler platform and corresponding observations will be integrated into naval predictive models for mine burial and naval seal operations within the surf zone. |
