Over the last 5 years, four aspects of nearshore sediment transport have been emphasized: 1) small-scale sediment transport, with emphasis on the initiation and vertical distribution of suspended sediment by turbulence and characterization of bottom boundary layer flows; 2) the linkage between small-scale sediment resuspension and large-scale circulation flows (edge waves, shear waves and mean currents) which presumably lead to changes in nearshore morphology; 3) swash zone sediment transport; and 4) new technologies for measuring nearshore bathymetry.
