| Summary |
The deposition and transport of sediments should be managed properly in ports from an environment perspective. They influence water quality and the habitats of organisms. The focus in this study was to create maps of sediment spatial distributions using a method to estimate the spatial distribution of sediment by using chemical composition. These enable estimation of spatial network of sediments. |
