The English Channel and southern North Sea, regional modelling

• Regional scale direction and relative strength of sand transport predicted using a numerical model of the English Channel and southern North Sea.
  Major regions of transport convergence (associated with net sediment accumulation) and divergence (associated with net [mobile] sediment erosion) are also identified.

• Spatial variation of the mean sediment transport rate (m^-3m^-1s^-1) predicted by a numerical model for sand 200mm in diameter in the English Channel and southern North Sea; an indicator of the potential mobility/stability of sand and the likelihood for mobility and local dispersion of debris and artefacts from archaeological sites.

• Spatial variation in the transport rate asymmetry (proportion of transport occurring on the dominant half-tidal cycle) predicted by a numerical model for sand 200mm in diameter in the English Channel and southern North Sea; an indicator of the potential mobility/stability of sand and the likelihood for long term loss of mobile debris and artefacts from archaeological sites.
