Measurement of thickness of nearshore sands by hydraulic jetting / N.A. Rukavina and G.G. LaHaie.: En13-5/91-14E-PDF
"Hydraulic jetting is a simple, inexpensive procedure developed for direct measurements of the thickness of nearshore sand deposits in the Great Lakes, and used to estimate sediment volume for coastal-sediment budget calculations. It makes use of a high-pressure water jet to cut through unconsolidated sediments to underlying bedrock or glacial sediment. It can be used on its own or as a control for indirect geophysical-profiling procedures. Potential applications include measurements of the thickness of rivers sediments and coastal marine sediments, and estimates of sediment and substrate strength. Although the use of jetting as part of various coring procedures is well-established, no published information is available. This methods paper in a major research journal, the Journal of Sedimentary Petrology, is intended to make the sedimentological research community at large aware of a useful sediment-survey procedure"--Management perspective.
