In-Depth Information
At the mouth of the Columbia River, studies have been carried out on behalf of
the Portland District of the US Army Corps of Engineers to understand the ben-
eficial re-use of dredge material for beach renourishment (Moritz et al.
2011
).
Sediment tracers were used to estimate the dominant sediment pathways of dredge
material placed near the mouth of the Columbia River, where the sediment was
expected to be transported to an adjacent beach.
