Best Practices in Modeling Sediment Transport and Budget Along the Texas Coast

Summary

The study explores uncertainties and errors in current sediment transport and budget practices, aiming to provide recommendations for best practices in sediment transport modeling in support of coastal sediment management. It includes a comprehensive literature review of sediment supply to the Texas coast and a survey of modeling practices for sediment transport and budget estimations. In addition, the project features case studies on two significant river systems: Brazos-San Bernard and Colorado. Finally, the project findings advocate for key considerations in sediment transport modeling towards a holistic coastal management approach.
