Book excerpt: A sediment budget analysis based on the principle of mass conservation is performed for Monterey Bay. The various littoral processes in the Bay are evaluated quantitatively. The results indicate that about 2.1 million cubic yards of sand are deposited annually into the Bay, which is treated as a quasi-closed system. Deposition from cliff erosion, computed from the cliffs profile changes, amounted to 5.6 million cubic yards, and accounted for 27% of the total deposit. River discharges were extrapolated using a power law formula; the total yield was 1.4 million cubic yards, representing 54% of the entire sediment deposition. The potential longshore drift was evaluated using a 18 years spectral wave climatology; its contribution was 4.09 million cubic yards which amounts to 19%. Sediment losses accrued from submarine canyon deposition, sand mining operations, offshore deposition by rip currents and eolian sediment transport to the dunes; these losses amounted to 2.34 million cubic yards and were all estimates taken from previous studies. The budget deficit signifies an erosion trend along the Bay. The effects of sand mining to coastal erosion are discussed. Recommendations needed to refine the budget analysis and to establish a correlation between the budget deficit and shoreline erosion are presented for further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sediment budget was developed for southern Monterey Bay, California. This budget is based heavily upon sediment information obtained from field and laboratory studies. These studies included a detailed quasi-synoptic areal sampling to determine distribution of textural patterns, and a time-series study of beach and surf-zone sand samples obtained from local sand-mining companies. Results from these studies were combined with data on river discharge, the wind and wave regimes, and shoreline changes during the past century to develop quantitative estimates of sediment gains and losses to the cell. It was determined that the major sources of sediment are the discharge from the Salinas River which empties into the northeast corner of the cell, and erosion of Quaternary seacliffs which form the inner bay shore. Major sinks are the Monterey Submarine Canyon, active coastal dune fields, the mining companies, and the offshore area. The recent history of the sediment regime in the southern bay is reviewed, and a forecast of future nearshore changes is made. Recommendations for further work needed to refine the budget computations are presented. (Author).

Book excerpt: The heavy mineralogy of the sand fraction for beach samples reported by Sayles (1966) and 10 new offshore samples from South Monterey Bay was determined optically. For each sample the percentage of the more diagnostic transparent minerals is plotted graphically in order of persistence: zircon, garnet, biotite, apatite, clinozoisite and epidote, lawsonite, green hornblende, oxy-horneblende, glaucophane, sphene, zoisite, augite, jadeite, hypersthene, enstatite, and tremolite and actinolite. Additional data on accessory transparent minerals, composite grains (rock fragments) and opaque minerals are listed with each graph. An updated bibliography is presented to include all new work on the geology and sediment of Monterey Bay. (Author).
