Description
The goal of this project was to develop a coupled, geomorphic and economic framework for the assessment of nearshore and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sediment in dedicated dredging projects in coastal Louisiana. Results indicate that the higher cost of sediment transport for OCS-sourced projects can be offset in certain cases by the reduced handling losses and increased resilience of larger diameter sands.
