The history of Quaternary sedimentation in the subtidal Wash is described using high-resolution seismic profiles. The Pleistocene sequence is divided into three depositional units, comprising Anglian till overlain by possible Late Devensian subglacial scour fill and lacustrine sediments. These latte

The distribution of clay minerals varies systematically in sediments from Holocene core material taken along a profile from the East Frisian coast to the Doggerbank. The proportion of illite increases with distance from the coast at the expense of kaolinite, whereas slight variations are seen in sme
The clay mineral content and grain size composition of sediments obtained from 29 cores (up to 350 cm in length) on the southern Marmara shelves have been analysed in order to determine the eects of climatic, neotectonic and hydrodynamic changes on the distribution pattern of Holocene sediments in t
