The interaction of flow and sediment transport in rivers creates a variety of interesting phenomena and morphologies, including dunes, bars, meandering, alluvial fans, submarine channels, etc. Insertion of any structure to the flow can change the interaction between flow and sediment transport (Mazumder and Sarkar 2014).
The name "Doom Bar" is a corruption of the older name Dunbar which itself derives from dune-bar.
The Doom Bar (previously known as Dunbar sands, Dune-bar, and similar names) is a sandbar at the mouth of the estuary of the River Camel, where it meets the Celtic Sea on the north coast of Cornwall, England.
These informations, combined with core analysis, allowed the identification of large- to medium-scale sedimentary structures (e.g. dunes, point bars), the corresponding sedimentary environment, and of retrogradational and progradational trends.
When we reached the top of the path through the dunes to Dogfish Bar a half-hour before sunset, dozens of terns were diving into wind-ruffled Vineyard Sound 100 yards to our right.
Dune restaurant's outdoor bar and natural wave soundtrack feels more like the set of a sexy spy thriller.
Piping plovers and least terns, both nesting in the dunes and sand bars at Milford Point, are endangered nationwide because of diminishing habitat as a result of human activity.
Dissimilarity indices depict high uniqueness of ecotope types regarding their species assemblages (e.g., river dunes, banks and bars).
Tidal asymmetry, wave intensity, discharge fluctuation that controls the migration of tributary channel, and the antecedent topography of resistant substrate are seen to exert an important control on the stratigraphic architecture of compound dunes and point bars in the intertidal environment.
If you're making a roll bar for a dune buggy that will occupy a space 60 inches (150 cm) wide by 50 inches (125 cm) high, make a rectangle with these dimensions on a clean space of concrete floor with a piece of chalk.
The Windrift Hotel (125 80th Street, 609-368-5175; www.windrifthotel.com) has a two-story restaurant and bar overlooking the dunes and ocean, sometimes with live music.
