- Abstract
The textural tendencies of grain size parameters (McLaren and Bowles, 1985; Gao and Collins, 1991, 1994) can provide useful information about the transport direction of the sedimentary material in coastal or open marine settings. The knowledge of sediment transport patterns in modern or ancient marine areas (Huang, X. and W. Jokat, 2016) is an important tool for various applications such as mineral exploration, coastal management, HC exploration, etc. In this context, the methodological approach proposed by Gao (1996) was applied in two coastal areas: Igoumenitsa Gulf and Volos coastal area, where a total of 52 and 58 surficial samples for grain size analysis was acquired respectively. Data acquisition was carried out in the frame of the GEOCHART project (NSRF 2007-2013), while analysis of the collected samples was performed on the basis of the HSGME Marine Geology Laboratory procedures according to international protocols (Folk 1954). For the interpretation of the results MATLAB R2022a version was used.
