Useful information was obtained about the environmental condition of this region such as energy, sediment location, origin, sediment carrying path, pond evolutionary process, and tectonic conditions and origins of sediments by studying physical and geochemical sediment changes processes in place and time, distribution of sediments and elements in lagoon bed, and also identification the effective factors on sediment distribution model. In this regard, 59 sediment samples were taken from Siyah Keshim lagoon and were analyzed chemically and aggregation by XRF and ICP-MS technic. Adaptation of data by Folk diagrams showed that this region is placed in a range of sand, muddy sand, sand with a little gravel, muddy sand with a little gravel, and silty sand. Weak to medium sorting and negative tilting shows sediment in a coastal area. Geochemical evidence shows that SiO2/Al2O3 ratio in these sediments is 2.6-3.7. In addition, Na2O value shows relatively low sediment investigation for sediments of this lagoon. Moreover, determination of the weathering effect in origin place by the chemical index of alteration (CIA) and chemical weathering index (CWI) shows intensive chemical alternation on sediments. Index of combined variety was averagely 1.54 in the studied sediments and show that sediments resulted from the first cycle sediment. Using tectonic separating diagrams based on the primary and secondary oxidants percentage show the sediment in the active continent margin (ACM), continent-island arc (CIA), and oceanic island arc (OIA) and shows that the studied sediments are related to subduction margin.

552 grain size samples and 33 mineral quality defined samples have been collected in the Co To island, Tonkin Bay of Vietnam, to study the distribution and the sediment provenance. The field investigation method, the grain analysis, and the detrital composition examination method have been used to study the characteristics of the surface sediments in Co To island. The obtained results show that the surface sediments in the area consist of ten different fields, namely: sandy gravel, gravelly sand, sand, gravelly muddy sand, sand mixed gravel, muddy sand, gravelly mud mixed sand, silty sand, muddy sandy gravel, and sandy mud. The mineral component method shows that quartz is the main contain of the surface sediment (72,0÷90,6%), less rock detritus, felspat, mica, and very few of the shells. It is to confirm that the continent is the main primary material source of the study area. The distribution of the sediment is complicated. As the East-Southeast side of the research area, the sediment distribution following gravity way, coarse grain near the shore (gravel, sandy gravel,…), finer grain far off the shore (gravelly muddy sand, silty sand,…), choice level is very low. Which This is saying that the movement of sediment in the area is dominant, ; the flow energy is governed by the topography near the island and seafloor. In tMhe meanwhile, the west-northwest side, the topography of seafloor is the complicated, coarse sediment grains (gravel, sand), ); the roundness is bad, which is saying that the hydrodynamic flow there plays an important role in the sediment distribution.

<p>In the period 1950s-60s, the Po river Delta (Northern Italy) was hit by several floods. Agricultural fields were covered by water and many of them remained submerged since. As a consequence of the massive sediment injection into the system, this lead to the birth of new tidal flats around the tip of the Delta. The evolution of these environments over 50 years was studied, as they may be taken as an example for future reconstruction of intertidal areas. The sediment distribution and the morphological evolution of a young tidal flat of about 10 ha located in the Northern part of the Po della Pila branch were studied by undertaking fieldwork since October 2018, including detailed topographic surveys using a UAV, sedimentological analyses, and a study of sediment deposition rates. An extended crevasse splay covers the central part of the flat. The granulometry is predominately fine (Silty clay and Clayey silt), except for the central area, where the sand percentage increases (Loam and Silty sand). This surface distribution is uniform down to ~10 cm; the sand percentage increases instead within the sediment column from ~10 to 25 cm next to the mouths of the channels. The tidal flat experienced a positive sediment budget and it was characterized by higher rates of accretion after the Po river floods. These observations suggest that the tidal channels are fed by sediment from the Po River branch. Orthophotos from the 1950s show that the tidal flat is about 17 - 20 years old and its formation was influenced by human intervention and river floods. The work aims at finally comparing this case study with other tidal flats and salt marshes worldwide characterized by similar and different tidal regimes, to identify the optimal elevation for vegetation to establish and flourish, to support the future restoration of these environments.</p>

Wetlands as unique, rich, and fertile ecosystems are among the most vital environments in the world. Quaternary sediments of wetlands are the main components of our environment and an essential source of clastic, organic, and chemical substances that can be caused by natural processes and erosion or created by human intervention. This article broadly deals with the grain size and geochemistry of Quaternary sediments in Saghalak-Sar as one of the wetlands in Guilan province in the north of Iran. The 74 surface and subsurface samples (from 10 core) of the sediments were graded, and sedimentationparameters of the particles (Sorting, Skewness, and Kurtosis) were determined. Also, the frequency of elements oxides and subelements oxides were determined by ICP and XRF, respectively. The sediments were classified into eight sedimentary types including Slightly Gravelly Muddy Sand, Slightly Ggravelly Sandy Mud, Sandy Mud, Gravelly Muddy Sand, Gravelly Mud, Slightly Gravelly Sandy Mud, and Gravelly Sand. On the east of the wetland (core 1 to 8), the percentage of sand is less the mud, and on the south and west of the wetland (core 9 to13), the sand is higher, indicating more energy in the south and west. Sorting of sediments is poorly to moderately sorted and the Skewness in most samples is coarse Skewed. The number of sediment content is 2 to 3, but the sand content is the majority of the samples. According to these data, the sediments are transmitted to sedimentary basins by the river or muddy streams. The comparison of the oxide elements of the above samples with upper continental crust (UCC) indicated the mean value of SiO2 (63.1%) in the wetland sediments is slightly less than the average of this oxide in the upper continental crust (66.6%), the average of CaO (0.8) less than the average of upper continental crust (except the 12 core and surface sediments sw1) and the amount of Na2O (0.8) and K2O (2.1) are less than the upper continental that indicates the destruction of plagioclases as a result of chemical weathering in the source or during the transport process. The comparison of MgO, Fe2O3, TiO2 sediment samples at different depths and upper continental crust shows that the average of MgO (1.2) is lower than the upper continental crust ten but Fe2O3 ( 7.2), TiO2 (1.2) arehigher than the upper continental crust. The decrease of CaO, Na2O, and SiO2 and the increase of Al2O3 and Fe2O3 indicate an increase in weathering during the transport process and the production of clay and aluminum oxide and iron oxide due to the decomposition of complex clays and non-clay minerals. Matching sediment samples on the two-axial diagrams of the main elements oxides, i.e., (Fe2O3+ MgO) versus Al2O3/ SiO2 and TiO2 and log (K2O / Na2O) versus SiO2, as well as the triangular diagrams of the sub-elements Zr, Th, La, and Sc, indicate that the wetland sediments are more inclined towards the range of oceanic arc islands and continental arcs, and are composed of subduction rocks.

Abstract. Sea-level rise, the increasing number and intensity of storms, oil and groundwater extraction, and coastal land subsidence are putting people and property at risk along Louisiana’s coast, with major implications for human safety and economic health of coastal areas. A major goal towards re-establishing a healthy and sustainable coastal ecosystem has been to rebuild Louisiana’s disappearing wetlands with fine grained sediments that are dredged or diverted from nearby rivers, channels and lakes to build land in open water areas. A thorough geo-hydrodynamic characterization of the deposited sediments is important in the correct design and a more realistic outcome assessment of the long-term performance measures for ongoing coastal restoration projects. This paper evaluates the effects of salinity and solid particle concentration on the re-suspension characteristics of fine-grained dredged sediments obtained from multiple geographic locations along the Gulf coast. The critical bed-shear-stress for erosion has been evaluated as a function of sedimentation time. The sediment hydrodynamic properties obtained from the laboratory testing were used in a numerical coastal sediment distribution model to aid in evaluating sediment diversions from the Mississippi River into Breton Sound and Barataria Bay.
