Preface Part 1: Sediments and morphology in shelf and coastal systems Optimal use of multibeam technology in the study of shelf morphodynamics John E. Hughes Clarke Palaeogeographic reconstruction of Hecate Strait British Columbia: changing sea levels and sedimentary processes reshape a glaciated shelf J. Vaughn Barrie and Kim W. Conway Changes in submarine channel morphology and slope sedimentation patterns from repeat multibeam surveys in the Fraser River delta, western Canada Philip R. Hill Recent sedimentary processes in the Cap de Creus canyon head and adjacent continental shelf, NE Spain: evidence from multibeam bathymetry, sub-bottom profiles and coring A. García-García, T. Schoolmeester, D. Orange, A. Calafat, J. Fabres, E. Grossman, M. Field, T. Lorenson, M. Levey and M. Sansoucy Geology metrics for predicting shoreline change using seabed and sub-bottom observations from the surf zone and nearshore Jesse E. McNinch and Jennifer L. Miselis Re-examination of sand ridges on the middle and outer New Jersey shelf based on combined analysis of multibeam bathymetry and backscatter, seafloor grab samples and chirp seismic data John A. Goff and Catherine S. Duncan Sedimentary facies of shoreface-connected sand ridges off the East Frisian barrier-island coast, southern North Sea: climatic controls and preservation potential Chang Soo Son, Burghard W. Flemming and Tae Soo Chang Part 2: Sediment transport processes, sedimentation and modelling Recent advances in understanding continental shelf sediment transport L.D. Wright Recent advances in instrumentation used to study sediment transport Jon J. Williams Seabed disturbance and bedform distribution and mobility on the storm-dominated Sable Island Bank, Scotian Shelf Michael Z. Li, Edward L. King and Robert H.

Michael Li is a research scientist at the Atlantic branch of
the Geological Survey of Canada. After obtaining degrees from Ocean
University of China and Oregon State University, Michael has worked
in and published on the coastal and shelf systems of China, United
States, and Canada. His current research interests include boundary
layer dynamics and sediment transport processes through in situ
measurements of instrumented seabed landers, offshore geohazards
and mobility of large-scale bedforms through multibeam and sidescan
surveys and sampling, physical and numerical models of
hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes on continental
shelves and in coastal environments.

Chris Sherwood is a research oceanographer with the U. S.
Geologcal Survey and works at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine
Science Center. Dr. Sherwood studied at Bowdoin College and the
University of Washington. Before joining the USGS, he worked for
the marine research division of the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industry Research Organisation in Hobart, Australia. His research
is focused on development of open-source models for sediment
transport in coastal ocean environment, and on field measurements
to evaluate the models.

Phil Hill is a research scientist with the Geological
Suvey of Canada. Since graduating with degrees from the
University of Oxford and Dalhousie University, he has practiced
marine geology in government, universities and the private
sector. He has published on marine geology and sedimentology
all around Canada, including the east and west coasts, the Beaufort
Sea and Hudson Bay.
