This website hosts images and text explaining sediment transport processes and overall morphology of Monterey Bay, California and the adjacent Salinas Valley. Images include a schematic representation of some of the major sediment transport routes for fluvial materials entering the bay and satellite images of suspended sediments during the 1998 flood. This site is designed and maintained by the Monterey ... Full description.

This website describes two turbidity events flowing down Monterey Canyon. The flows were recorded in December 2002 by a benthic mooring device located at1300 m depth. The website contains a detailed description of the events as well as graphs and illustrations of the effect of the event on instrumentation, including parameters such as flow speed and temperature.

This website provides information and photographs of current laboratory models of turbidity currents. Photographs include pictures of the flume and the movement of turbidity currents in that flume. Full description.

This site provides a diverse group of visualizations depicting sedimentation models. Visualizations range from photos and still image sequences to animations, and represent simple conceptual models, output from computer simulations, and physical experimental models. Visual resources can be integrated into lectures, labs, classes, or other activities about sedimentation and stratigraphy. Full description.

This site provides a collection of visual resources about turbidity currents and their deposits. Visualizations include animations, photos, static images, videos of experimental models, and visual output from numerical models. These resources can be integrated into lectures, classes, labs or other activities. Full description.

This site provides visual resources and supporting material about the study of sequence stratigraphy. Resources accessible from this site include informational text, images, animations and short videos which can be integrated into lectures, labs or other activities. Full description.

This site provides animations and images showing a variety of depositional landforms resulting from longshore drift. Animations demonstrate both naturally occurring landforms and what happens when humans interrupt sediment transport processes through river and coastal engineering projects. The site also features a collection of coastal photographs. These resources can be integrated into lectures, ... Full description.

This narrated QuickTime movie shows footage illustrating how waves and currents shape a coastline. Topics discussed include shoreline erosion and deposition, wave energy, swells, swash, bachwash, and longshore drift. This video is from Chapter 19 (The Work of Waves and Wind) of the animations section of the Instructor Companion Site for the Wiley Higher Education textbook (ISBN 0-471-23800-7) Physical ... Full description.

This site has links to 5 Flash animations about orbital motion in shallow water, seasonal cycle of a beach, longshore drift of sand, spits and baymouth bars, and coastal straightening. These visualizations are from Chapter 14 (Waves, Beaches, and Coasts) of the animations section of the Online Learning Center for the McGraw-Hill textbook Physical Geology, 9th edition (ISBN: 0072402466) by Plummer, ...

The Visual Geophysical Exploration Environment (VGEE) is a software tool that is specially designed to help learners visualize complex, multi-dimensional geophysical phenomena and connect those visualizations to fundamental physical principles. The tool works with actual data sets of The El Nino Southern Oscillation. An additional data set of mantle convection will be available in the future. The ... Full description.
