Our goals are to contribute to the Tidal Flats DRI, which, in turn, has as its goals: developing and improving the capability to predict hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics in macrotidal muddy riverestuary- coastal environments; understanding the link between remotely sensed signatures and geotechnical properties of tidal flats; determining the parameters governing morphologic stability and change; and determining the relative roles of river- and tidal-driven circulation in affecting tidal flat morphology and circulation. We specifically address the following: Determine the processes and parameters governing morphologic stability and change. Determine the processes and parameters governing geotechnical stability and change. Determine links between remotely sensed signatures and sedimentary and geotechnical properties of tidal flats. Initial planning has centered around a joint U.S.-Korea study of tidal flat dynamics along the shores of Gyeongi Bay, Korea. My work is directly linked to a similar effort by Dr. Homa Lee of the USGS in Menlo Park, California. Our main objective in FY07 was to participate in two planning meetings and help develop a science plan for tidal flat research. We participated in meetings in Honolulu, HI and Incheon, Korea. At the meetings we contributed to the discussions with respect to remotely sensing geotechnical properties and understanding geotechnical and morphologic stability. We contributed to the Draft Science Plan : Joint Korea-U.S. Study of Gyeonggi Bay Tidal Flat Dynamics.
