Developing a Missouri River Sediment Transport Capacity Function
The specific research question to be addressed by this agreement is “How do bed material loads, hydraulic roughness, and bedform regimes change based on hydraulic parameters, such as temperature, shear stress, stream power, slope, water velocity, etc.” To answer this complex research question,
a bed material load sediment transport capacity function will be derived using the best available data, including USGS suspended sediment concentration/load and the Missouri River 2014 sediment data collection effort.
A bedform/roughness predictor algorithm will also be developed for the Missouri River.
The effectiveness of these algorithms at predicting observed data must be demonstrated in a journal article to be coauthored by USACE.
The methodology and results must also be discussed in the journal article.
Two in-person meetings will be held (kickoff and final presentation) between USACE and the award recipient, as well as monthly virtual meetings.
