Sedimentation and time-of-transition techniques for measuring grain-size distributions in lagoonal flats: comparability of results

A comparative study was performed of three instruments used to measure the grain‐size distribution of thirty sediment samples from shallow lagoonal flats: the hydrometer, the Sedigraph 5100 and the CIS‐1. The hydrometer and Sedigraph are based on sedimentation whereas the CIS‐1 uses the time of tran...
