The objective of the project is to test a two-dimensional model of accumulation of storm-stratified deposits on central Texas shelf in order to learn about the mechanisms by which sediment facies patterns are generated in shallow marine environments. Instrument arrays will be deployed to monitor boundary layer dynamics at 10-4 and 10-1 years time scale. They also plan to infer these dynamics at intermediate time scales of 10-1 and 10-2 years by studying box cores to be taken for this purpose, and at stratigraphic time scales of up to 10- 4 years in 6 vibra cores, also to be collected. BLIPS and currents meters are planned to will be deployed to study boundary layer dynamics. Funding is provided for a one year pilot study of the hydrodynamics of the boundary layer.

该项目的目标是测试一个二维 风暴成层堆积模式 为了了解 沉积相模式主要发生在浅海 环境. 将部署仪器阵列， 10-4和10-1年时间尺度的边界层动力学。 他们还计划在中间时间推断这些动态 10-1年和10-2年的尺度，通过研究盒状岩心， 为此目的，在地层时间尺度高达10- 6个振动岩心中的4年，也将收集。 BLIPS和 计划部署海流计， 边界层动力学 资助期限为一年 边界层流体动力学的初步研究。
