Too Little Slack

Floc Settling Across Successive Slack Waters in a Turbid Macrotidal Estuary

A research poster from the School of Settled Matters images mid-depth flocs at the onset of 28 consecutive slack waters at one anchored station in a turbid macrotidal estuary and scores each by a slack settling number, finding floc mass bimodal in every window and 63 per cent of it unable to reach the bed before the current resumes at spring high-water slack, against 20 per cent at neap low-water slack.
