  2. Marine sediment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_sediment

    Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic deposits from marine organisms or from ...

  3. Coastal sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_sediment_transport

    Coastal sediment transport (a subset of sediment transport) is the interaction of coastal land forms to various complex interactions of physical processes. [1] [2] The primary agent in coastal sediment transport is wave activity (see Wind wave), followed by tides and storm surge (see Tide and Storm surge), and near shore currents (see Sea#Currents) .

  4. Bioturbation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioturbation

    The lugworm Arenicola marina Gobies keeping watch outside a shrimp burrow. The evaluation of the ecological role of bioturbators has largely been species-specific. [8] However, their ability to transport solutes, such as dissolved oxygen, enhance organic matter decomposition and diagenesis, and alter sediment structure has made them important for the survival and colonization by other ...

  5. Breakwater (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakwater_(structure)

    Sediment accumulation in the areas surrounding breakwaters can cause flat areas with reduced depths, which changes the topographic landscape of the seabed. [ 4 ] Salient formations as a result of breakwaters are a function of the distance the breakwaters are built from the coast, the direction at which the wave hits the breakwater, and the ...

  6. Sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_transport

    Coastal sediment transport takes place in near-shore environments due to the motions of waves and currents. At the mouths of rivers, coastal sediment and fluvial sediment transport processes mesh to create river deltas. Coastal sediment transport results in the formation of characteristic coastal landforms such as beaches, barrier islands, and ...

  7. Marine transfer operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_transfer_operations

    Marine Transfer Operations are conducted at many ports around the world between tanker ships, barges, and marine terminals.Specifically, once the marine vessel is secure at the dock a loading arm or transfer hose is connected between a valve header on the dock and the manifold header on the vessel.
