| Abstract |
In order to determine the processes that have governed the accumulation and erosion of sediments in the Humber Estuary (English North Sea coast) through the Holocene, the character, volume and source of sediments were studied. Eight sediment suites were identified on the basis of chemostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and mineralogy. The locally sourced, freshwater, Basal Suite is overlain by the Newland and Butterwick Suites, deposited between c. 8 and 7.4 cal. ka bp in brackish environments behind a morainic barrier at St Andrew’s Dock, Hull. These are overlain by the largely marine, saltmarsh sediments of the Garthorpe Suite, which in... |
