Abstract:	A sediment transport model has been implemented and calibrated in the Ebro Delta Continental Shelf. Several parameters in the hydrodynamic and sediment transport module have been assessed in order to improve the results of this calibration. Four different non-cohesive and one cohesive classes have been defined and studied. The Ebro Delta shelf sediment dynamics have been analysed, highlighting the role of the currents, waves and freshwater input.
