    Survey of Sheboygan Bluff, Wisconsin, May 2019

    Metadata Updated: November 12, 2020

    Project Name: A Comprehensive Analyses of Sediment Delivery to Lake Michigan from Coastal Bluffs in South Eastern Wisconsin- Sheboygan WI (05/14/2019) High lake levels are reducing beach area along the Lake Michigan coastline and allowing wave action to erode the bases of coastal bluffs at the highest rate of the past 30 years. Sediment budget calculations have shown that b luff erosion is the dominant source of sand and gravel-sized particles that are mobilized into beaches and the nearshore system. Researchers have found that the leading cause of bluff erosion is shallow to intermediate depth translational landslides. Therefore, estimating lake sediment budgets depends on an understanding of the mechanisms that lead to landslide failure. This study will provide a comprehensive analysis of bluff stability for bluffs affected by landslide failure coupled with an analysis of bluff composition to determine the composition of sediment contributions of coastal bluffs to the southeast Lake Michigan sediment budget.
