Sand Movement Along a Portion of the Northern California coast
Cherry JA. 1964. Sand Movement Along a Portion of the Northern California coast. University of California
The long-term beach and offshore sand movement along the portion of the Northern California coast between Drakes Bay and the Russian River has been studied. Analysis of hindcast swell data, availability of sand for transport, refraction diagrams and knowledge of stable shapes of sedimentary coastlines suggested that under present conditions little net longshore movement of sanf occurs in the area and that the beaches are generally in equilibrium with negligible supply or loss of sand. Surface sediment samples were collected from beaches and offshore zones.
