| Notes | “Estuaries show dynamic patterns of channels and bars, which are also valuable habitats, while channels provide access to harbours. In contrast with bars in rivers, we still lack explanations, theory and classifications for bars in estuaries” (from the Abstract). The authors explore the available theories for sand bar size and shape, based on a database of 190 estuaries, mostly in the United States and Europe. Netarts Bay (in the author’s classification system, a compound estuary) is one of the featured estuaries. This is a technical discussion involving “estuarine geometry and tidal charactistics” (from the Abstract). Includes aerial photographs. |
