Abstract
Definition and Properties of a Variability Index of Deltaic Sediments: NOTES
Hugo Mandelbaum
ABSTRACT
An outstanding characteristic of the deltaic sediments cored in the St. Clair River delta in Lake St. Clair, Michigan is their great variability. The construction of a suitable index for this variability produced a very useful parameter. The statistical distribution of this variability index is log-normal. Its value increases towards more open areas of sedimentation and correlates with the increase of the mean grain size of the sedimentary column. Areas of uniform processes of sedimentation can be defined by this index in conjunction with the conventional sediment parameters.
