Textural variations over a foreshore-backshore environment, Hawaii

Auteur :
LEE, C.T.

Description :
Detailed textural analyses in a carbonate foreshore-backshore coastal environment in Hawaii indicated distinct differences in mean, sorting, skewness, and percent of fines between zones and within zones. The applicability of the traditional bivariate approachwill be assessed in subenvironment discrimination. The suite statistics approach discussed by Tanner (1991) will also be assessed as a tool in distinguishing between environments and subenvironments. Exploratory data analysis and geostatistical approaches will be used as tools to identify spatial patterns in this sedimentary environment.
