Abstract
Sediment in central Eckernforde Bay is characterized by beds of clay-sized material, with slightly coarser laminations (~ 10% silt and sand). Excess234Th activity indicates that mixing is limited to the upper 1 cm. Accumulation rates (210Pb geochronology) range from 3 to over 10 mm yr−1. Relatively high accumulation rates and absence of a significant mixed layer in the central bay allow fluctuations of sedimentological processes to be recorded in detail. Sediment-transport studies suggest that the laminations are caused by alternating deposition of storm-suspended sediments from adjacent shallow-water and fair-weather supply of fine suspended material advected from Kiel Bight.
