Sedimentation in a disequilibrium river-dominated estuary: the Raša River Estuary (Adriatic Sea, Croatia)

ABSTRACT This paper examines sediment transport, sedimentation and properties of suspended matter and sediments in the Raša River estuary, a small, rock‐bounded, microtidal, low‐wave‐energy karstic estuary in the north‐eastern Adriatic. The Raša River is characterized by large variation in water flo...

description ABSTRACT This paper examines sediment transport, sedimentation and properties of suspended matter and sediments in the Raša River estuary, a small, rock‐bounded, microtidal, low‐wave‐energy karstic estuary in the north‐eastern Adriatic. The Raša River is characterized by large variation in water flow and variable load of mineral particles. More than 90% of this load is brought into the estuary as fine‐grained suspended matter, consisting of only 24–36% of carbonates, the rest being clays. Sedimentation occurs at the salt wedge, resulting in a prograding estuarine delta. Salt‐induced flocculation is the predominant process of sediment deposition. The Raša estuary is infilling with sediment, and classifies as a disequilibrium estuary. We propose a modification of Cooper's (1993) classification scheme to include river‐dominated, disequilibrium estuaries, with the Raša River as an example.
