Abstract

The Humber Estuary has been the subject of considerable research activity over recent years. Drawing on results from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)-funded Land–Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS) and work to underpin the strategic planning of flood defences by the Environment Agency (EA), a preliminary budget of the net sediment exchanges has been developed. The net exchanges are presented in the context of gross movements. The results highlight the fact that the budget is finely balanced, with the net exchanges being very small residuals, one or two orders of magnitude less than the gross exchanges taking place.
