Data repository: The role of sand fraction in mud-dominant wave-supported gravity flows
(2020-07-18)We performed laboratory experiments to investigate the influence of sand content on the dynamics of wave-supported gravity flows in mud-dominant environments. The experiments were carried out in an oscillatory water tunnel ... -
Dataset for: Seasonal patterns of mixing and arsenic distribution in a shallow urban lake
(2022)Arsenic, a neurotoxin and carcinogen, is a legacy contaminant in the sediments of many urban lakes and poses health risks to aquatic ecosystems and lake users. Arsenic uptake into the aquatic food web is enhanced in shallow, ... -
Lobe-Cleft Instabilities on a river plume front
(2016-05-12)These data accompany a paper submitted to Geophysical Research Letters. The abstract is below. Gravity currents represent a broad class of geophysical flows including turbidity currents, powder avalanches, pyroclastic ... -
Wave generation of gravity-driven sediment flows on a predominantly sandy seabed
(2018)Wave-supported gravity flows (WSGF) generate rates of sediment flux far exceeding other cross-shelf transport processes, contributing disproportionately to shelf morphology and net cross-shelf fluxes of sediment in many ... -
Wave-Supported Gravity Currents Project: Experimental data from UW Sediment-Wave tank. Zero slope
(2015-03-01)Paper abstract: We present results from laboratory experiments in a wave flume with and without a sediment bed to investigate the turbulent structure and sediment dynamics of wave-supported mud layers. The presence of ...
