Abstract Measurements of near-bed shear stress were undertaken in the shallow subtidal zone at Durras Beach, NSW, Australia using a sideways-looking acoustic velocity meter installed within the wave boundary layer. The wave climate was swell-dominated and wave conditions comprised shoaling and breaking waves as well as surf bores. The sediment at the field site was medium-grained sand, and observations of bedform geometry were conducted using a pencilbeam-sonar system. Using frequency-filtering techniques, the measured stresses were partitioned into terms representing turbulent (Reynolds) str...

They going further north or south? it's like they decided to congregate on north carolina and south carolina. but, anyway there's been a surge of these shark attacks. what should you do if a shark attacks you? dr. robber joins us on the phone. doctor, we have this 12-year-old kid, young man, all these attacks in a short period of time in north carolina and south carolina. how could anyone feel comfortable going to the ocean there? >> first of all, good evening, greta. good to talk to you again. it is a concern. there definitely is something going on there as far as a lot of sharks close to the...
