Conceptual models of circulation and sedimentation in arctic fjords are presented to illustrate the current understanding of these environments. Circulation is a vigorous process in these fjords and is enhanced by the loss of the fresh water cap
Two bayhead deltas that possess similar tidal, wave and discharge characteristics are described and their sedimentary structures, sediment character and littofacies are compared. Although existing models prediction, they do not possess similar
sediment distribution model. Storm waves resuspend fine-grained sediment in water depths of tens of metres and produce near bottom turbid water zones within basins. Fine sands and silt settle out rapidly, leading to the deposition of graded beds
