storms. Provides the extremes of water level set-ups up to the 500-year
return period.
Remson, W. E. (1970). Sedimentation Rate in a Dredged Channel of Arcata
Bay. Senior Paper, Oceanography Department, Humboldt State University.
Paper prepared under direction of Dr. R. W. Thompson, Geological
Oceanographer. Cores taken at 1,000 ft intervals along a transect line
bearing North 19W from intersection of Highway 101 North with
Murray Field turnoff, with transect shown on aerial photo. Additional
purpose of study was to calculate change in sedimentation rate on mud
flats.

North and South Spits, and Beach Profiles," U.S. Army Engineer District, San
Francisco.
Not reviewed. The mapping was used by Moffatt & Nichol (1991) and
may provide some information on shoreline position.

Beaches," USGS open file report No. 2001.07.
A distillation and extension of the data found in Brown and Ritter (1971)
that specifically addresses the sand fraction of the sediment load of the
Eel River.

Not reviewed. May contain some interesting insights about beach
processes and inlet dynamics on the Humboldt County coastline. The
same author presents a methods paper on this project at the Third
Thematic Conference on Remote Sensing for Marine and Coastal
Environments (1995, Seattle, WA).
