Abstract
The fine sediment population in turbid coastal environments has been shown to exist within a dynamic framework of processes and inter-related phenomena. Measurements using new technology have brought a changing perspective, highlighting unsteady behaviour and the importance of the cohesive boundary—a time-dependent transition between moving fluid and stationary bed. Discrepancies between various techniques for describing the properties and behaviour of the cohesive boundary become clear when the purpose of the description is considered. Although transport processes are described in purely physical terms, the impact of biological processes is now widely recognized though substantially unquantified. Non-intrusive measurement techniques offer a route to more realistic quantification of the fine sediment transport phenomena in these environments.
