Fine-grained sediment spatial distribution on the basis of a geostatistical analysis: Example of the eastern Bay of the Seine (France)
The eastern Bay of the Seine (English Channel) was the subject in 1991 of a sampling survey of superficial sediments. Geostatistic tools were used to examine the complexity of the spatial distribution of the fine-grained fraction (

Geostatistic tools were used to examine the complexity of the spatial distribution of the fine-grained fraction (<50
μm). A central depocentre of fine sediments (i.e. content up to 50%) oriented in a NW–SE direction in a muddy coastal strip, in a very high energy hydrodynamical situation due to storm swells and its megatidal setting, is for the first time recognised and discussed. Within this sedimentary unit, the distribution of the fine fraction is very heterogeneous, with mud patches of less than 4000
m diameter; the boundary between these mud patches and their substratum is very sharp.
The distribution of this fine fraction appears to be controlled by an anticyclonic eddy located off the Pays de Caux. Under the influence of this, the suspended material expelled from the Seine estuary moves along the coast and swings off Antifer harbour, towards the NW. It is trapped within this eddy because of the settling of suspended particulate matter. Both at a general scale and a local scale the morphology (whether inherited or due to modern processes) has a strong influence on the spatial distribution of the fine fraction. At the general scale, the basin-like shape of the area facilitates the silting, and the presence of the submarine dunes, called “Ridins d’Antifer”, clearly determines the northern limit of the muddy zone. At a local scale, the same influence is obvious: paleovalleys trap the fine sediments, whereas isolated sand dunes and ripples limit the silting. This duality of role of the morphology is therefore one of the reasons why the muddy surface is extremely heterogeneous spatially. The presence of an important population of suspension feeding echinoderm, the brittle-star
Ophiothrix fragilis Abildgaard, has led to a local increase in the silting, and to the modification of the physicochemical and sedimentological parameters. A complex relationship is shown to occur between the amount of fine fraction and the number of brittle-stars (ind.
m
−2).
Classical statistical methods are not appropriate to study the spatial distribution of the mud fraction, because the spatial component of the percentage of the distribution is not integrated in the analysis. On the other hand, this is the main property of the geostatistic concepts.
The use of geostatistic tools within a strict and clearly identified procedure enables the proposal of an accurate cartography. Further application of the proposed protocol (based on a semivariographic study and a conditional simulation interpolation) for surficial sediments mapping will help explain spatial and temporal variations of fine-grained fraction. Then assessments of sedimentation and erosion stages allow highlighting signature of environmental processes.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0278-4343</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-6955</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.csr.2006.06.009</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Bay of the Seine ; Earth Sciences ; English Channel ; Fine-grained content ; Geomorphology ; Geostatistics ; Marine ; Mud ; Ophiothrix fragilis ; Sciences of the Universe ; Sediment transport ; Semivariogram</subject><ispartof>Continental shelf research, 2006-12, Vol.26 (19), p.2335-2351</ispartof><rights>2006 Elsevier Ltd</rights><rights>Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-a385t-138e2db92babb0c6ab7b05d64ba9372161114943dac097a4ec1ab8c27c48daf33</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-a385t-138e2db92babb0c6ab7b05d64ba9372161114943dac097a4ec1ab8c27c48daf33</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-2789-146X</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csr.2006.06.009$$EHTML$$P50$$Gelsevier$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,780,784,885,3549,27923,27924,45994</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://hal.science/hal-00175449$$DView record in HAL$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Méar, Y.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Poizot, E.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Murat, A.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lesueur, P.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Thomas, M.</creatorcontrib><title>Fine-grained sediment spatial distribution on the basis of a geostatistical analysis: Example of the eastern Bay of the Seine (France)</title><title>Continental shelf research</title><description>The eastern Bay of the Seine (English Channel) was the subject in 1991 of a sampling survey of superficial sediments.
