INTEREG IV  – Erosion and monument protection in Lake Constance and Zurich

Investigation of the surface wave field and particle resuspension

The project investigates within the framework of the INTERREG IV – ‘Erosion and monument protection in Lake Constance and Zurich’ the properties of the surface wave field and occurring resuspension of particles at the under water heritage sites of Sipplingen-Osthafen, Unteruhldingen, Litzelstetten-Krähenhorn, and Steckborn-Schanz situated around Lake Constance. The project focuses on the following key aspects:

i) Long-term measurement of the surface wave field, near-bottom-current velocities, and suspended sediment concentration throughout the season;

ii) Wave exposure and relative importance of wind and ship waves at the study sites for sediment resuspension;

iii) Modeling of the surface wave field at high spatial and temporal scales and prediction of the site-specific probability of sediment resuspension.
