Book Description
The goal of this study is three-fold: first, to characterize the nearshore zone of the field area in terms of its form, or bathymetry, and its sediment distribution pattern; second, to identify changes in those characteristics over the period of study and over the 20- to 30-year period since the last study of the area; third, to test quantitative statements of the equilibrium concept against sediment distribution patterns found in the field.

Book Description
Excerpt from Evaluation of Lake Michigan Nearshore Sediments for Nourishment of Illinois Beaches Along the Illinois shore, groins have been widely used for maintaining beaches. Longshore drift trapped by these groins provides a buffer between the lake and the bluff. Nevertheless, because an increasing number of groins have captured portions of the littoral drift, and because the littoral drift that moves south from Wisconsin into Illinois has apparently decreased, many of the beaches are not wide enough to prevent erosion of the bluff toe during high lake levels or during severe storms. Under these circumstances, it is necessary not only to build groins but to artificially fill them with sediment during years of lean drift. This sediment should be of a suitable grain size to provide a stable beach wide enough to prevent erosion of the bluff toe.
