New data on the granulometric composition of sediments of the Anapa bay bar

Resumo

The method and results of the study of granulometric composition of sediments of the Anapa bay bar are presented in this work. Along the extension, the Anapa bay bar hosts several areas with distinct granulomentric composition of sediments. The coastal variability of the bottom sediments is less expressive relative to land sediments and the pattern of the coastal distribution of granulometric composition reflects the local differences of hydrolithodynamic conditions of individual areas of the bay bar. These data are important for understanding the present-day lithodynamic processes and evolution of the geosystem of the Anapa bay bar.
