A monitoring program to evaluate the effects of beach nourishment material placed on a cohesive shoreline in southeast Lake Michigan was conducted at St. Joseph, MI, by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. In conjunction with this monitoring program, this particular study focuses on a 6-km (3.7-mile) section of shoreline extending southward from the jetties of St. Joseph Harbor. Some of the geological variables that affect cohesive shores were investigated. The primary objective of the study was to develop an improved understanding of the relationship between the movement of the cohesionless sediment (both fine and coarse grain components) and the irreversible downcutting of the underlying glacial till at the St. Joseph project site. Data collected during the monitoring program were input into a 2-D numerical model to describe the cross-shore sediment process and to predict the profile response to storm conditions with the influence of the underlying glacial till represented as an erosion-resistant sublayer. The 2-D profile change tests were performed at 10 of the profile locations.

"Two time-series studies of wind, wave, and sediment process-response mechanisms that operate in the beach and inner nearshore areas of western Lake Michigan were conducted as part of a long term field program ... as well as part of the Illinois Coastal Zone Management Project. The ultimate objective of this program is the quantitative prediction of coastal changes utilizing computer modeling techniques ... The studies included systematic observation of environmental parameters and daily surveys of the beach and adjacent inner near-shore zone. Among the environmental parameters measured were barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, wave period, breaker height and angle of approach, and longshore current velocity."--Page [1].
