This study evaluates the impacts of meteorologically-induced water level oscillations (MIWLOs) on the severity of bottom shear stress in a freshwater estuary in the Laurentian Great Lakes system (U.S.). The results of the study have implications for managing sediment transport in coastal, estuarine areas.
