Abstract
This paper sets the scene for the rest of the papers in the volume by summarising the basis for a study of sediment resuspension and its imp acts. The study concentrated on two contrasting sites in the southern North Sea, one with strong tidal currents and a sandy seabed where the water column remained well-mixed throughout the year, the other deepe r, with weaker tidal currents and a muddy sea bed which stratified in summer.
