    Effect of Beach Permeability and Freshwater Recharge on Beach Hydraulics

    Measurements of water level, salinity, temperature, and a conservative tracer (Lithium) were obtained from a beach in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. The ultimate goal of the measurements was to evaluate the factors affecting the lingering of oil in the beaches, 17 years after the spill of the Exxon Valdez. The tidal range at the beach was ∼4.8 meters, a large value that minimized the effects of salt density gradients. The results were simulated using the code MARUN, a finite element code for density-dependent flow in two-dimensional variably-saturated media. Preliminary calibration of the model revealed that the water level within the beach was greatly dependent on permeability and the freshwater recharge.
