In many shallow oceanic environments, wave-induced flow and                sediment transport are dominant processes on the scales of benthic              organism feeding and growth.  However, the response of marine                   benthic organisms to oscillatory flow and oscillatory sediment                  transport has not been investigated. Using coupled field and                    laboratory experiments, the effects of oscillatory flows on the                 feeding biology of intertidal and shelf invertebrates will be                   studied.  Many of the experimental tests will utilize a uniquely                constructed oscillatory wave tank which will have future benefits in            the study of the adaptations of benthic animals to their physical               environments.
