In‐channel surficial fine‐grained sediment laminae. Part I: Physical characteristics and formational processes

Abstract An in‐channel surficial depositional feature (surficial fine‐grained laminae) composed of loosely bound fine sediment deposited during low flow conditions has often been observed in river systems in south‐western Ontario. The physical characteristics of this feature have been determined by a direct observation image analysis system. This sediment consists primarily of flocculated fine‐grained material. The size distributions of …
