Modelling the Giant Sandwaves of San Francisco Bay: A study on process based sandwave modelling, with an exploration on the mechanisms that results in the formation of these bedforms

Connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Golden Gate channel, the San Francisco Bay accommodates a widely spread field of sandwaves that show large spatial variations which are not yet fully understood. Insight into the formation of sandwaves is necessary to understand and predict the processes that control sand transport and sedimentation patterns...
