Abstract
    On the beach of the island of Nordemey sedimentological, morphological and hydrodynamic measurements have been carried out in order to investigate sediment transport processes in the course of a tidal cycle which was characterized by moderate hydrodynamic conditions. Wave heights varied between 0.3 and 0.5 m. An area of 90 m2 within a groyne field was surveyed. Sediments samples were taken on a 5 m grid at low tide. Sediment flux was determined at each sampling site by means of depth-of-activity rods. The grain size distributions of the sediment samples were determined by dry sieving. Under the prevailing hydrodynamic conditions a landward sediment transport was observed. The mainly negative sediment budget in the seaward section and the landward directed distribution of fluorescent sediment tracers suggest a dominant onshore transport during the investigated tidal cycle. This is also reflected in the changes observed in sediment textures.
