Sediment Transport Study 2012

This Sediment Transport Project has relied heavily upon the SCOPAC Sediment Transport Bibliographic Database (Version 6, 2012) to identify the sources of information that have subsequently been reviewed to produce this study.

The database was originally compiled for SCOPAC in 1989 by the Department of Geography, University Portsmouth and was updated in 1992, 1995, 1998, 2002 and 2012.

The 2012 Bibliographic Database was updated by the Channel Coastal Observatory in collaboration with David Carter, working as an independent consultant, and Dr Malcolm Bray from the University of Portsmouth. It comprises some 5,700 references to relevant shoreline management reports and publications for the 400 kilometre frontage of the SCOPAC region.

The database comprises a searchable archive of sources, searchable by author, topic and/or area, compiled in Microsoft Access format for Windows.  

It provides reference details, searchable keywords, abstract and details of where original copies are held for all published and unpublished material, which it has been possible to obtain or consult.

The database encompasses all aspects of sediment transport and sediment budgets on the coast, including long term and short term coastal changes, and the effects of dredging and reclamation. Relevant books, journal articles, consultants’ reports, local authority reports, academic theses and other unpublished sources are included.
