The Role of Infragravity Waves in Near-Bed Cross-Shore Sediment Flux in the Breaker Zone

Results from a series of field experiments, conducted to investigate the influence of infragravity waves (from wave groups), ripple type and location relative to the breaker line on cross-shore suspended sediment flux close to the sea bed in nearshore environments, are presented. The field data were...
