Abstract: | Statistical analysis of laboratory-measured compressional wave (sound) velocity, porosity, wet bulk density, and selected
textural parameters of surface sediments from the Barents Sea reveals that clay content and mean grain size are the best indices
to sound velocity. These parameters are followed closely by porosity and wet bulk density, while sand content provides the
weakest index. Although Barents Sea surface sediments are characterized by fairly high variability, the results of the present
study are in general agreement with studies of similar sediment types in other continental shelf environments. |
