The figure presents
the work schedule of the project. The task are ordered horizontally connected
vertically by integrated and coordinated special activities. Here, expeditions/cruises
marked by blue bars. Workshops will be held and the end of each working phase,
characterised by a milestone.
|
Phase 1: (month 1 - 16) |
task 1: continuation of experiments and field work for model parameterisation:
|
Sedimentology/ Biodeposition / Bioresuspension - Investigation of the influence of benthic organisms onto resuspension, these species are characterised by creation of minimal biogene structures at the surface or, referring endofauna, through bioturbation destabilisation of sediments. The relation between bioturbation and physical/ sedimentological parameters will be described quantitatively. - Investigation of particle dynamics in thze water column and near bottom boundary ("fluff"). |
|
task 2: Monitoring at the test dumping site in order to obtain data for the model verification: |
- sedimentological (grain size, mineral composition) - bathymetrically (high resolution echo sounder: GKSS), characteristic of the sea floor (side scan sonar) - benthosbiologically (re colonisation of the dumped material). |
|
|
task 3: model development/ parameterisation/ regionalisation |
Advancing the geostatistical
methods for: - multivariate correlation structrure analysis of sedimentological/ benthosbiological/ oceanographical parameters - extrapolation of target variables using proxies Expansion of transport models
through: - inclusion of benthosbiologically controlled suspended matter sources and sinks |
|
|
Phase 2: (month 17 - 21) |
task 1: numerical simulation |
Sscenarios: - modelling of transport paths depending on the material - modelling of the "fluff" layer dynamics - studies about the model sensitivity - differentiate areas of erosion and accumulation depending on regional weather settings |
|
Phase 3: (month 22 - 24) |
task 1: synthesis |
- composing the final reports, publications, maps and visualisation |
