Sediment accumulation in low sedimentation, wave-dominated, glaciated inlets in Sedimentology of fjords.
Many fjords situated in lowland areas of resistant bedrock are characterized by a comparatively low fluvial sediment flux and are often dominated by wave processes. Several such fjords in Eastern Canada are used as examples to develop a generalized
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
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
