Description :
There are many problems associated with beach tracing and sand provenance in coastal studies over short and long time-scales. Here, an attempt has been made to trace the source sediments of the beaches along the Holderness and Humberside coastline of northeast England, using rapid field and laboratory magnetic techniques. The methodology employed involves classification and modelling of sediment sources and mixtures based on their magnetic properties. This paper represents results obtained during a short-time-scale survey.
