Summary

For the geoscientist, interest in sediment dynamics relates to the understanding of modern processes, together with their extrapolation to the interpretation of ancient deposits within the stratigraphic record. Recently, a number of new techniques and approaches have been developed and a representative selection, by reference to recently undertaken coastal and shelf investigations, is included here: optical and acoustic backscatter measurements; particle tracking; the use of mutibeam imagery; grain-size trend analysis; and analytic, numerical and conceptual modelling.
