Dec 1, 2007 · In this context, it needs to be re-emphasized that the phenomenon of sediment mixing and the associated textural expression of the mixing process is certainly not a misinterpretation of the size-sorting process as originally argued by McLaren (1981) and McLaren and Bowles (1985).

Dec 1, 2007 · Only a systematic comparison of progressively changing curve shapes (and associated textural parameters) of sediments collected on a closely spaced grid can yield data suitable for sediment...
Oct 11, 2006 · The correlation between K E and variations in suspended sediment concentration in Argentine Basin, found by Richardson et al. indicates that the sorting events required to produce the current controlled grain size are deep-sea storms, i.e., some variability is needed to yield sorting.

Oct 14, 2020 · Key Points. Process-based model of sorting processes in tidal sand waves reveals both the surficial and the internal sediment structure. Modeled sand wave heights are lower in poorly sorted sediment mixtures due to the dampening contribution of fine sediments in suspension.

This article reviews the mechanisms that sort bed material by size during sediment entrainment, transport and deposition and discusses some of the inter-relationships that exist between patterns and processes of sediment sorting at different spatial and temporal scales.

Jan 1, 2008 · This chapter describes the size- sorting process of fine sediments during transport and deposition. The size of fine sediments can be analyzed by a measurement of fine grain sizes and size distributions of components.
