A comprehensive model of coastal currents and sediment dispersion has 

 been formulated and applied to the Mississippi Sound and adjacent continental 

 shelf waters. The study combines mathematical modeling of various hydrodynamic 

 and sedimentary processes with laboratory and field experiments. Of primary 

 importance is the development of an efficient and comprehensive three-dimen- 

 sional, finite-difference model of £oastal, £stuarine, and L^ake C^urrents 

 (CELC3D). The model resolves curt'ents driven by tide, wind, and density
