Course overview

Geology of Puget Sound
Started from Pangaea
Plate movement, subduction zones, volcanoes and valleys
Glaciation – scouring and carving
Sea level rise
Rivers and sediments

Morphology of Puget Sound
Basins and sills
Rivers- seasonal cycle- east/west differences- differences among basins

Circulation fundamentals
Exchange circulation- freshwater meets ocean water
Tides- mixing- tidal excursion- tidal prism

Deep versus shallow basins
Knudsen Relation – “The most important equation of estuarine circulation”
QR Q1, S1 = S2 - dS
Q2, S2
Volume conservation: Q1 = Q2 + QR Salt conservation: 0 = S2Q2 – S1Q1
Combining these two it is easy to show that:
Q2 = (S1/ds)QR and Q1 = (S2/ds)QR
The Knudsen Relation
