Jinhae Bay, a semi-enclosed, tide-dominated coastal embayment on the southeastern coast of Korea, receives large amounts of sediment derived from the Nakdong River. The irregular surface of the acoustic basement is overlain by a modern sedimentary sequence up to 25 m thick, characterized by an acoustically semitransparent subbottom. Sediments, consisting mainly of terrigenous and bioturbated mud, accumulate at a rate of 2–5 mm/yr. About 21% of the suspended sediments discharged from the Nakdong River, that is approximately 1.0 × 106 tons per year, accumulate in Jinhae Bay. Modern sedimentation began probably at about 5000 yr BP, when sea level approached its present level. 相似文献

Distributional characteristics of dinoflagellate cysts in surface sediments were investigated in relation to environmental
factors in the eastern part of Geoje Island, Korea. Samples were collected from 10 stations in February of 2004 and water
temperature and salinity were measured in February, May, September and November of 2004. Total 30 taxa of dinoflagellate cysts
were identified representing 19 genera, 28 species and 2 unidentified species. Among these dinoflagellate cysts,Brigantedinium spp. of which relative proportion in the total dinoflagellate cysts was 23.5%, was the most abundant at all stations except
St. 1, and was followed bySpiniferites bulloideus (8.6%),Lingulodinium machaerophorum (8.2%) andDiplopsalis lenticula (6.7%). In addition, ellipsoidal cysts of the genusAlexandrium (Alexandrium catenella - tamarense type) andGymnodinium catenatum, known to be causative organisms for PSP, occurred with high concentrations.Scrippsiella trochoidea was also found; however, its cyst concentration was low. Generally, species composition in the study area was similar to
these reported from Jinhae Bay and Busan Harbor and several dinoflagellate cysts reflected the eutrophic condition. Cyst distribution
in the eastern part of Geoje Island seems to be influenced by the Tsushima Warm Current flowing from the southwest. The mean
water temperature was 12.0°C in February, 14.7°C in May, 20.9°C in September and 17.2°C in November, which was most favorable
forAlexandrium spp. growth. The abundances of dinoflagellate cysts ranged from 528 to 2,834 cysts/g dry sediment. Higher concentrations
were recognized in sediments of west area of the Jisimdo than at other stations. The cyst composition of this area was closely
related to these of Jinhae Bay and Busan Harbor from which currents flow into this area. Higher cyst concentration in the
west area of Jisimdo might be due to formation of the gyre. 相似文献

The barrier-island systems of the Mississippi River Delta plain are currently undergoing some of the highest rates of shoreline
retreat in North America (~20 m/year). Effective management of this coastal area requires an understanding of the processes
involved in shoreline erosion and measures that can be enacted to reduce loss. The dominant stratigraphy of the delta plain
is fluvial mud (silts and clays), delivered in suspension via a series of shallow-water delta lobes that prograded across
the shelf throughout the Holocene. Abandonment of a delta lobe through avulsion leads to rapid land subsidence through compaction
within the muddy framework. As the deltaic headland subsides below sea level, the marine environment transgresses the bays
and wetlands, reworking the available sands into transgressive barrier shorelines. This natural process is further complicated
by numerous factors: (1) global sea-level rise; (2) reduced sediment load within the Mississippi River; (3) diversion of the
sediment load away from the barrier shorelines to the deep shelf; (4) storm-induced erosion; and (5) human alteration of the
littoral process through the construction of hardened shorelines, canals, and other activities. This suite of factors has
led to the deterioration of the barrier-island systems that protect interior wetlands and human infrastructure from normal
wave activity and periodic storm impact. Interior wetland loss results in an increased tidal prism and inlet cross-sectional
areas, and expanding ebb-tidal deltas, which removes sand from the littoral processes through diversion and sequestration.
Shoreface erosion of the deltaic headlands does not provide sufficient sand to balance the loss, resulting in thinning and
dislocation of the islands. Abatement measures include replenishing lost sediment with similar material, excavated from discrete
sandy deposits within the muddy delta plain. These sand bodies were deposited by the same cyclical processes that formed the
barrier islands, and understanding these processes is necessary to characterize their location, extent, and resource potential.
In this paper we demonstrate the dominant fluvial and marine-transgressive depositional processes that occur on the inner
shelf, and identify the preservation and resource potential of fluvio-deltaic deposits for coastal management in Louisiana. 相似文献

High-resolution seismic survey and sediment core sampling were conducted to investigate acoustic characteristics of gas-bearing sediments in Jinhae Bay, the southeast of Korea. The sediment in Jinhae Bay is mostly homogenous mud deposited after the Holocene transgression. Along with the 410 km of chirp seismic profiling, five piston core samples were collected on the track lines. Gassy sediments are common and occur widely in the bay. Core samples were analyzed for sediment texture, physical properties (porosity, water content, bulk density, and grain density), acoustic properties (compressional wave velocity and attenuation), and electrical resistivity. X-radiograph image analysis was also performed to observe the shape of degassing cracks. There is no significant downcore variation on physical and sediment textures regardless of existence of gas bubbles. However, compressional wave velocity dramatically decreases from average 1480 to 1380～739 m/s for the cores that penetrate the gas-bearing zones. This is probably due to degassying cracks that developed by escaping gases and free gas bubbles that are still trapped in the cores. Electrical resistivity is the only geotechnical property that increases in the gas-bearing zone where compressional wave velocity abruptly decreases. This indicates the possibility of using both electrical resistivity as an index variable as well as to compressional wave velocity to identify gassy sediment microstructure because there are little changes in texture and composition of sediment. 相似文献

东海陆架中北部沉积物粒度特征及其沉积环境 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
通过对东海陆架表层沉积物粒级组成、粒度参数、14C年龄和微体古生物组合的综合分析,绘制了东海陆架的沉积物类型分布图;运用Folk等(1970)沉积物分类方法将东海表层沉积物分成砂、粉砂、粉砂质砂、砂质粉砂、砂质泥5种类型,其中粉砂质砂分布最广,砂质泥分布最少;沉积物由陆向海粒度变粗,反映沉积过程中的物源和沉积动力控制作用。根据沉积环境及成因分析,可将东海陆架沉积分为3类:分别是长江口外席状砂沉积区、现代泥质沉积区和陆架中部砂质沉积区。长江口外砂质沉积是全新世冰消期晚期潮流作用及风暴潮流共同作用的产物,是高海平面以来太平洋潮波系统作用下的潮流沙沉积,沙波地貌仍在发生变化。现代泥质沉积区包括长江前三角洲沉积、浙闽沿岸流沉积和济州岛西南泥质沉积三个区域,不同沉积区的成因机制不同。陆架中部砂质沉积是末次冰盛期之后海侵作用下发育的砂质沉积物,在海侵的不同阶段中沉积物被冲刷改造,具有不等时性特征,沉积环境与现代陆架海洋环流的动力特征不一致,现代沉积作用较弱,仅接受悬浮体细粒沉积。 相似文献

With abundant well penetrations in proximal and distal settings and 3D seismic coverage, the Auger Basin is an ideal location to study the influence of basin setting and accommodation on the stratigraphic architecture of ancient turbidite systems. Pliocene-age turbidites at Macaroni Field were deposited in ponded accommodation in the distal portion of a salt-bounded intraslope basin, immediately inboard of a sediment spill point to the linked outboard basin. Deposits at Auger Field are contained within point-sourced submarine fans deposited in healed slope accommodation in the more proximal portion of the basin on the flank of a paleo-bathymetric ridge, immediately down depositional dip of a sediment spill point from an inboard basin. Both areas of the basin are distinct in terms of sediment dispersal patterns, rate of sediment fill, and preservation potential of reservoir/seal pairs, and while both fields contain sand-rich deposits and record vertical evolution from older sheet dominated- to younger channel dominated deposits over the Late Pliocene section, there are key differences in the nature in which the fill occurs. The ponded stratigraphic section at Macaroni Field records (1) an early mud-rich phase in which incoming flows are completely captured by confining topography, (2) a brief phase of diminished relief when high frequency fill/spill cycles occur, and ultimately (3) a phase of incision of the former basin sill and large-scale bypass to the outboard basin. Over the same period, the healed-slope section at Auger Field records a fill pattern consisting of alternating episodes of initial sand-rich sheet/lobe deposition followed by intervals of channelization. We acknowledge extra-basinal controls (eustacy, climate) on the timing, rate, and nature of sediment supply to the basin, but there is considerable evidence for paleo-bathymetric control on cyclical fill patterns observed at fourth and higher-order scales. 相似文献

近百年来黄河改道及输沙量变化对山东半岛泥质楔沉积物粒度特征的影响 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
对山东半岛泥质楔柱状样进行沉积物粒度分析，并在210Pb测年基础上结合黄河年输沙量、悬浮泥沙粒径、河口位置及沿岸流强弱替代指标等数据研究近百年来黄河改道及输沙量变化对远端沉积区沉积特征的影响。研究结果显示，研究区沉积物粒度的变化是黄河入海泥沙特征和沿岸流等水动力作用共同影响的结果。1884–1939年及1947–1999年，研究区沉积物粒度特征的变化主要受到沿岸流强弱的影响；1939–1947年及1999–2012年，受1938–1947年花园口决堤以及20世纪90年代末以来黄河年输沙量持续偏低致使源区泥沙不足的影响，沉积物粒度相对粗化，与沿岸流强度的相关性减弱。与黄河入海泥沙近端沉积区不同，研究区粒度特征对黄河尾闾改道事件不敏感，且对花园口决堤及年输沙量低于临界值的响应有一定程度的延迟，这与该区沉积物经历了再悬浮过程及中间复杂的物质混合有关。黄河改道及输沙量变化仍然是远端沉积区沉积特征演化不可忽视的因素。 相似文献

Flow-parallel linear ridge–runnel (R–R) bedforms composed of mainly cohesive sediments have been investigated at an intertidal site located at Hills Flats in the Severn Estuary, UK. It is argued that the sequences of sand–mud laminae in the ridge sediments indicate strongly that R–R are depositional bedforms. Faint R–R topography scoured in the underlying soft bedrock and parallel rows of coarser particle now found at the base of ridges are evidence of secondary vortices that may have provided a catalyst for mud ridge growth. Bed shear stress remains below the erosion threshold for all but the most recent and weak surficial mud deposits which are removed by evorsion [mechanical erosion by turbulent flows that may also carry sand and/or gravel] during Spring tidal flow ca. 60 cm/s. Differences in flow characteristics between ridges and runnel are minor. Corrasion [to erode or be eroded by abrasion] by sparse coarse sediment largely prevents net deposition in the runnels. Over time a slight imbalance between mud deposition and erosion rates allows slow growth of the ridges suggesting that these mudflats may be especially sensitive to slight changes in the local hydrodynamic regime and/or sediment supply. 相似文献

A set of multi-channel seismic profiles (∼15,000 km) is used to study the depositional evolution of the Cosmonaut Sea margin
of East Antarctica. We recognize a regional sediment wedge, below the upper parts of the continental rise, herein termed the
Cosmonaut Sea Wedge. The wedge is situated stratigraphically below the inferred glaciomarine section and extends for at least
1,200 km along the continental margin with a width that ranges from 80 to about 250 km. The morphology of the wedge and its
associated depositional features indicate a complex depositional history, where the deep marine depositional sites were influenced
by both downslope and alongslope processes. This interaction resulted in the formation of several proximal depocentres, which
at their distal northern end are flanked by elongated mounded drifts and contourite sheets. The internal stratification of
the mounded drift deposits indicates that westward flowing bottom currents reworked the marginal deposits. The action of these
currents together with sea-level changes is considered to have controlled the growth of the wedge. We interpret the Cosmonaut
Sea Wedge as a composite feature comprising several bottom current reworked fan systems. The wide spectrum of depositional
geometries in the stratigraphic column reflects dramatic variations in sediment supply from the continental margin as well
as varying interaction between downslope and alongslope processes. 相似文献

海口湾东部是南渡江西北新三角洲受水受沙盆地,一直以来是典型的淤积海域。通过历史卫星影像分析海口湾东部浅滩的沉积过程,研究不同时间的湾内表层沉积物分布规律,采用遥感和实测悬浮颗粒物数据认知悬移质泥沙运动规律,借助沉积物粒径趋势分析推移质泥沙运动规律,对海口湾东部海域淤积趋势以及机制进行宏观分析。结果表明:海口湾东部浅滩的多个沙坝生成于不同的围海填地阶段;人类活动建造的向湾内伸突的人工构筑物,减弱了海口湾东部浅滩的潮流和波浪作用,进而导致泥沙在“葫芦岛项目”东部和南部海域沉积。了解海口湾东部海域泥沙运动规律以及海域淤积机制,是解决该海域淤积问题的基础。 相似文献

陆架环流作用下的北黄海中北部细颗粒物质输运 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
海洋泥质沉积是流域、古气候及海平面变化信息的重要载体，对该粒级物质的系统研究，是获取环境信息的重要手段。为此，采集北黄海中北部表层沉积物80件，经室内筛分处理，并对细颗粒组分（<63 μm）进行了稀土元素（REE）测试。结果显示REE的含量及分布模式在长山列岛东西两侧差异显著:东侧物质明显富集REE，尤其轻稀土元素（LREE），Eu元素则明显缺失，指示了受鸭绿江的显著控制；长山列岛以西，REE除含量降低外，分布模式也变平缓。造影剂马根维显（Gd-DTPA）在磁共振成像（MRI）中的大量使用，可能是造成Gd明显富集的主要原因。此外，辽南沿岸物质的来源及分布与以往认识存在差异，以往认为辽南沿岸泥质沉积为鸭绿江为主的辽东半岛河流的远端泥沉积，而本文的研究发现:辽东半岛东侧长山列岛至大连湾外海域以黄河来源物质为主，鸭绿江物质对北黄海西部泥质区的贡献在西侧大于东侧，其中陆架环流对物质输运发挥着重要作用。 相似文献

The assessment of sediment quality by considering chemical contaminants is required for the effective management of coastal environments. In this study, complex data sets of heavy metals and organic pollutants were integrated to evaluate sediment quality. Thirty-two target pollutants were quantitatively determined in surface sediments from 80 stations in Jinhae Bay, South Korea. A sediment quality index (SQI) was derived by combining the functions of “scope” (the number of variables that do not meet guideline objectives) and “amplitude” (the magnitude by which these variables exceed the guideline objective). The SQI reflects the spatial gradient and differences in the contamination status with regard to heavy metals and organic pollutants in Jinhae Bay. Fifty-nine out of eighty stations surveyed (74%) were classified as being in “excellent” or “good” condition according to the SQI, and no stations were in a “poor” condition. The mean sediment quality guideline quotient (mSGQq) ranged from 0.06 to 0.31 (from nontoxic to marginally toxic). Acute sediment toxicity leading to amphipod mortality was recorded at 17 stations (21%) of the 80 surveyed, where the mortality rate was slightly over 20%. No significant relationship was observed between sediment toxicity and the concentration of each toxicant or mSQGq. 相似文献

Sediment processes in estuaries are controlled by the interaction of factors that include tides, fresh water inputs, bed morphology, sediment supply, and hydrodynamics. The interaction of these factors strongly influences the pattern of sediment deposition. The ability to quantify sediment deposition on a regional scale will improve the understanding of the underlying processes, and provide valuable information for managing estuarine systems. This paper describes our approach for obtaining the deposition pattern and quantifying the amount of 20th century impacted sediments in the Haverstraw Bay section of the Hudson River Estuary. Through the combination of high-resolution seismic data and rapidly acquired geochemical information from numerous sediment cores, we estimate that our study site experiences an average sediment accumulation rate of ∼3 mm/y and that ∼75,000 t/y or ∼10% of the annual total sediment input measured at the Poughkeepsie, NY gauging station (USGS) is stored in this reach of the Hudson River on ∼100 y timescales. A detailed analysis of the depositional pattern indicates that the accumulation rate varies considerably throughout the study area ranging from non-depositional to >8 mm/y. Our data also clearly indicate that the dredged channel in Haverstraw Bay is currently the main focus of deposition in this area. 相似文献

鸭绿江河口地区沉积物的粒度变化及影响因素 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
通过对比鸭绿江河口不同地区柱状样的粒度参数及敏感组分变化规律,分析了河口不同地区沉积动力环境和沉积特征的差异;结合代表性柱状样的210Pb测年,分析了柱状样在不同时期自然和人类活动影响下的沉积特征变化。结果表明,西水道主要受潮流作用而含有泥沙互层,粒度参数变化小;西岸潮滩受潮流和波浪作用含有贝壳碎屑,并在顶部出现粗化层。近几十年来,鸭绿江河口地区沉积特征的变化主要由于人类活动对水沙入海通量的影响:1941年以前柱状样的波动沉积特征反映了河流山溪性特征;1941—1970(1980)年随水沙入海通量减少而呈现砂含量降低、粉砂增加的特征;1970(1980)—1990年由于水沙入海通量变化较小,而呈现沉积物组成和敏感组分保持稳定的特征;但1990年后随水沙入海通量的进一步降低,邻近河口区域的沉积物出现明显的粗化。 相似文献
