The basis for, and use of, fine grain size parameters for inference of paleoflow speeds is
reviewed here. The basis resides in data on deposited sediment taken in conjunction with …

The laser diffraction method (LDM) is a relatively new technique that is increasingly used in
measurements of the particle size distribution (PSD) of soil and sediments. It has significant …

Authoritative, accessible, and updated introduction to sedimentary rocks for undergraduate
students Sedimentary Petrology provides readers with a concise account of sedimentary …

This textbook outlines the physical, chemical, and biologic properties of the major
sedimentary rocks, as revealed by petrographic microscopy, geochemical techniques, and …

This book is an introduction to the physical processes of cohesive sediment in the marine
environment. It focuses on highly dynamic systems, such as estuaries and coastal seas …

Fine sediment size (< 63 µm) is best measured by a sedimentation technique which records
the whole size distribution. Repeated size measurement with intermediate steps of removal …

Results of a traditional sedimentation technique for grain-size analysis (the sieve-pipette
method) were compared with those of a laser diffraction grain-size analyser, the Coulter LS …

In this paper, we present results from a large number of experiments aimed at quantifying
method and instrument uncertainty associated with laser diffraction analysis. We analyzed …

Estuaries are sites of port, industrial, urban and recreational development and also
important to many forms of animal life. They often form sinks for sediment and thus for …

The qualities of a laser diffraction grain size analyser, the Coulter LS‐100 (range claimed by
the manufacturer: 0· 4–900 μm in a single measurement), are evaluated on sediments of …
