Estuaries are bodies of water which are affected by tides and the interaction of fresh and seawater. CHL studies include - transport of salinity, mixing processes, stratified flows, erosion, and deposition of sediments. The study of Estuaries deals with areas such as:
- Propagation of tides
- Transport of salinity, mixing processes, and stratified flows
- Transport, erosion, and deposition of sediments
- Behavior and characteristics of sediment beds
- Flow between aquifers and surface waters
- Human effects on estuaries including, vessel traffic, diversion, and structures
- Descriptive measurement of estuaries through in-situ and remote methods
- Predicting estuarine processes through physical and computer generated models
- Research which will make work in estuaries safe, economical, and effective
