Abstract

The main sediment transport paths in the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary are briefly described; coarse sediment is transported in a generally westward direction and fine sediment in a generally eastward direction. The concept of differential two-way sediment transport is introduced and applied to the modern Bristol Channel area. This phenomenon is considered to be of significance in interpreting ancient sediment transport patterns and shelf configurations.
