- Title
Sediment particle size in the Hudson River Estuary

- Abstract
The particle sizes in bottom and suspended sediments from the ocean upstream for 80 km in the Hudson River Estuary were analysed. Several modes at 4, 8 and 30 μm were prevalent throughout the estuary. The average size of particles in bottom samples varied from 150 μm near the ocean to 15-20 μm in Havestraw Bay. The bottom sediment size appears to be controlled by two components; (1) sand from the ocean (2) the particles in the flocs.
