Description
Summary:According to average grain size parameters (Kd, Kd1) recent sediments from the northern Caspian Sea and the Barents Sea shelf are similar, while sediments from the Norwegian Sea are closer to their counterparts of the World Ocean. Seaward content of subcolloidal (<0.001 mm) size fraction increases against the background of decreasing proportions of coarse- and medium-grained pelite (<0.01 mm) material. ... : Supplement to: Alekseeva, Tatyana N; Sval'nov, Vyacheslav N (2006): Grain-size parameters of marine sediments.
