Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monterey Bay, California's second largest bay, is the focus of drainage for three rivers draining an area in excess of 6,000 square miles in the adjacent Coast Ranges. The possibility that Monterey Bay has served as the outlet for drainage of the Central Valley during the late Tertiary has been suggested by many people, and the presence of the largest submarine canyon and the largest deep sea fan in California outside Monterey Bay is supporting evidence for this theory. The present work is primarily a description of the sediment cover in Monterey Bay and an analysis of the numerous variables controlling the distribution and accumulation of sediment within the bay.

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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conclusions: The compositional changes that occur along the beaches of Monterey are not the result of selective sorting processes but rather reflect changes in the source sediment. Such changes may result from several different supply-littoral transport conditions. The changes which may occur at river mouths may reflect a flooding out of littorally transported sediment; changes not related to rivers may reflect local supply from cliff erosion. In the absence of any significant supply of sediment from rivers and cliff erosion these changes must reflect a lack of littoral transport and prior conditions which produced the observed mineralogical pattern. Only in areas devoid of long-term net littoral transport can such relict sedimentary dispersal patterns be preserved.
