Consequences Of Sediment Flux: Escape Or Entrapment?, Maynard M. Nichols
Consequences Of Sediment Flux: Escape Or Entrapment?, Maynard M. Nichols
VIMS Articles
Estuaries exhibit a full range of flux that extends from escape of sediment into the ocean to complete entrapment and storage within the system. The trapping efficiency of U.S. East Coast estuaries is compared with respect to long-term infilling and present- day flushing velocity , volumetric capacity , and circulatory mixing. It was found that entrapment prevails in many northern estuaries as a consequence of high volumetric capacity , low flushing velocity , and the nearly closed circulation. In many estuaries, channel deepening has reversed the " normal" trend of long-term infilling. Although dredging enhances circulatory entrapment, large-scale ocean dumping …

The atmospheric flux of cosmogenic Be-7 (53.3-day half-life) and the mode of ?Be deposition in river- estuarine and coastal environments have been examined. The atmospheric flux of ?Be commonly sup- ports inventories ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 pCi/cm 2 (1 pCi = 0.037 Bq). Beryllium 7 concentrations in water phase samples, collected across salinity gradients in several estuaries along the eastern coastline of the United States, range from 0.03 to 0.53 pCi/L and primarily reflect variations in Be-7supply and sorption kinetics. The major process controlling the concentration of Be-7 on estuarine suspended particles appears to be the length of time …
