The Art of Screening: Effectiveness of Silt Screens

To minimise the possible impacts of suspended sediments in environmentally sensitive areas, silt screens are often employed, but their effectiveness may be questionable.

Dredging Phase I of the Non-Time Critical Removal Action in the Lower Passaic River

Removing sediments with high dioxin concentrations requires extra care, with modern surveying and tracking techniques from beginning to end, from dredging to a high-tech dewatering process to the final disposal.

Sediment Resuspension and Cycling due to Wave Groups

Predicting the transport of sediments in nearshore environments and their affect on coastal stability is essential. This paper, reporting on field experiments in this subject, won the IADC Young Authors Award at COPEDEC IV in Sri Lanka.

Determining the Ages of Recent Sediments Using Measurements of Trace Radioactivity

Geochronology analyses are used to characterise sediments and sedimentation rates which can help in planning dredging operations.
