Analysis of hummocky bedforms offshore Fire Island, New York, generated by superstorm Sandy

Hummocky bedforms are mainly studied in ancient sedimentary outcrops; they are interpreted to be associated with storms, an inference that is based on paleohydraulic conditions derived from sedimentary deposits. However, the modern hummocky bedform catalog is sparse, with few associations of hydraul...

Description
Summary:Hummocky bedforms are mainly studied in ancient sedimentary outcrops; they are interpreted to be associated with storms, an inference that is based on paleohydraulic conditions derived from sedimentary deposits. However, the modern hummocky bedform catalog is sparse, with few associations of hydraulic conditions resulting in their deposition and preservation. In this study we investigate small-scale (
