The USGS Carolinas Coastal Change Processes Project seeks technical assistance for field observational studies and numerical modeling to investigate sediment transport processes in North and South Carolina. This grant provides monetary support for deploying and calibrating acoustic instrumentation to measure near-bottom sediment resuspension and for calibration of numerical models. Funding of $35,000 is available with opportunities for additional years based on progress and fund availability. Closing date for applications is Jun 20, 2008.

| Description: | The USGS Carolinas Coastal Change Processes Project is a five year effort focused on the region of North and South Carolina. This project will investigate the interactions of shoreline, nearshore, and offshore sediment transport process driving coastal change in the Carolinas using geophysical surveys, oceanographic studies, and predictive models. In support of this project we seek technical assistance for field observational studies to measure physical oceanographic processes and for the development and implementation of numerical models used to hindcast and predict coastal changes. Observational assistance is sought to measure near-bed (seafloor) bottom boundary layer sediment resuspension processes. The use of acoustic instrumentation is required, mounted on oceanographic quality tripods suitable for these studies and able to carry a number of instrumentation, and the ability to provide calibration of the acoustic equipment in a proven facility. Technical assistance with the numerical modeling is sought to provide a calibration of the model results compared to the observational data. Award Information |
