Physical Properties of Long Island Sound Sediment Cores


Plot 3

      Water Content vs. Fine fraction
        by sedimentary environment

Chart of water content vs. fine fraction by sedimentary environment.

Water content is plotted versus the fine fraction (silt and clay) for all the cores collected in the Long Island Sound (LIS) area. Samples from each of the environments dominated by a different sedimentary regime and samples from cores collected outside LIS proper are plotted in different symbols and colors.Click here for printable copy of data (in PDF form).
