Objectives are: 1) To determine the feedbacks between waves, tidal fluxes and tidal channels in muddy coastlines 2) To link the geotechnical properties of sediment substrates to the spatial and hydrodynamic characteristics of tidal channels 3) To develop new morphological indicators of tidal flat morphodynamics that can be easily derived from remote sensing images. To link these indicators to mechanical properties of tidal flat substrates 4) To compare the results of the MURI project Mechanisms of Fluid Mud Interactions under Waves to wave measurements at the shoreline. 5) To integrate high resolution hydrodynamic measurements within ongoing research activities at the Willapa Bay Tidal Flats DRI location.
