Sovereign Islands Sediment Diffusion Study, QLD

Home / Projects / Coastal hazards / Sovereign Islands Sediment Diffusion Study, QLD

Numerical modelling of sediment transport and diffusion to manage sediment deposition within the Gold Coast Waterways and navigation channels. This project included capture of new coastal data (sediment grab samples, velocity/current measurements, sedimentation rates etc), and new detailed numerical modelling using Delft3D to understand sediment deposition patterns. The study supported ongoing sediment management through dredge management.
