Abstract:

Since 1975, the U.S. Army Research Office has sponsored research on tidal inlets and surf zone suspended sediment through grants DAAG-29-76-G-0111 and DAAG-29-79-G-0011 Miles O. Hayes, principal investigator to the University of South Carolina. The latter grant terminated on 30 June 1980. Research projects wholly or partially supported by ARO under these awards have produced two Ph.D. dissertations, two M.S. theses plus two due for completion in December, 1980 one sampling equipment design and, to date, 21 publications or technical reports. Field work for the bulk of the studies was performed at Price Inlet, South Carolina and along adjacent barrier islands. Laboratory analysis and report preparation were completed at the University of South Carolinas Coastal Research Division. This final report contains abstracts summarizing results of the investigations, lists of publications produced under these grants and University of South Carolina personnel receiving partial support from the Army Research Office.
