“…Peak sediment deposition at the Pamunkey River site occurred in July 1999, coincident with peak deposition at Gleason Marsh. Similar seasonal trends have been reported in some salt marshes (Leonard, 1997), but not in others (Kastler & Wiberg, 1996).…”

“…Proximity to source, source concentration, and inundation period, which is a function of marsh elevation, have previously been shown to be primary physical controls on sedimentation patterns (Friedrichs and Perry, 2001). Sediment deposition rates typically decrease with increasing distance from marsh creeks toward the marsh interior (Kastler and Wiberg, 1996; Leonard, 1997, Neubauer et al, 2002. This is due in large part to the presence of marsh grass, which slows velocity, causing sedimentation and a decrease in sediment concentration in the waters moving to the marsh interior Christiansen et al, 2000).…”

“…Grain size generally decreases towards the marsh interior or with increased distance away from the source (Kastler and Wiberg, 1996;Friedrichs and Perry, 2001). This is a result of the fall velocity of individual particles, with larger particles settling out first and therefore closer to the source (Friedrichs and Perry, 2001).…”

“…This is a result of the fall velocity of individual particles, with larger particles settling out first and therefore closer to the source (Friedrichs and Perry, 2001). The amount of organic matter on the marsh surface typically follows an opposite trend, increasing towards the marsh interior (Kastler and Wiberg, 1996;Friedrichs and Perry, 2001;Neubauer et al, 2002). The amount of organic matter also generally increases with increased elevation, but the increase in elevation may be due in part to in situ organic matter accumulation from the vegetation locally present (Cavatorta et al, 2003).…”

The paper discusses the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the aspects of marine environmental research, as approached by Russian and Greek groups. The scientific teams apply the same GIS platform in both cases, but with a different orientation, according to the particular driving forces of the projects involved.In general, the Russian team manipulates GIS as a subsystem of problem-oriented applications in order to enlarge the possibilities to run non-standard user programs. The subsystem of problem-oriented applications (POA) is designed for the following: (1) analysis of data and information to implement applied tasks; (2) preparation of output information products of the system in the form of hard and electronic copies in accordance with the required formats; and (3) dissemination of information products according to the users requirements. The Greek group focuses on the GIS use as a tool for joining different layers of spatial information in the marine area under investigation. Also, incorporated in the GIS is the drainage basin that supplies the marine area with water, sediment load and also human derived substances. Layers of hypsometry, bathymetry, hydrography, river network, roads, cities, satellite images etc., have been introduced into the system, obtaining significant feedback information. Also, there are developed the relations of the former layers with the marine sampling stations network and the database that describes the station's properties.The two groups benefit particularly by the exchange of ideas and methods, as different consideration is undertaken to resolve marine research issues.
