A spatiotemporal analysis of seabed morphodynamics in a constrained flow environment: A case study of an open tunnel valley in the Western Irish Sea Open
Seabed morphodynamics examines the processes that change the seabed topography. It is a dynamic system of sediment being eroded, transported, and deposited over different spatial and temporal scales. These dynamics have consequences for th…
