Wave-induced subaqueous erosion of cohesive tills : preliminary results / by J.P. Coakley, N.A. Rukavina and A.J. Zeman.En13-5/86-118E-PDF

"Development of models to assess the effects of diversions or regulation on lake shores, composed of cohesive soils, requires a basic knowledge of the relationship between wave eroding stresses and the response of the lake bottom. This paper gives new laboratory data and compares predictions for a proposed theory with field observations. More work is necessary to reconcile model and nature. However, results are encouraging. More field data would improve the possibility of developing a useful model. It should also be noted that eroded materials deposit ultimately in the basins where they clearly influence the chemical reactions on the lake bottom"--Management perspective.
