Description: Das Projekt "Exzellenzcluster 80 (EXC): Ozean der Zukunft" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Kiel, Geographisches Institut, Schwerpunkt Geoökologie, Regionale Umweltanalyse und -planung durchgeführt. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is one of the more important parameters surrounding the health of a coastal ecosystem (Fanning 1982; Olgilvie and Mitchell 1998; Simpson et al. 1998, Schratzberger et al. 2002). Shipping induced sediment resuspension may have numerous adverse impacts on coastal embayments and estuaries including disruption of navigation, increase in turbidity, and release of previously isolated contaminants back into the water column. This proposal outlines an investigation and quantification of the resuspension of sediments and their associated contaminants in the Venice Lagoon, Italy. A certain combination of different parameters including water elevation, vessel speed, draft, and gross tonnage can produce forced, shallow water waves. These waves create substantial resuspension events. We propose to calculate the threshold factors which produce these waves in addition to calculating sediment and contaminant concentration caused by these waves. This can be used as input for a critical economic impact assessment of nearshore shipping.
