Abstract
Bed sediments in estuaries and tidal basins often consist of sand and mud, which can be deposited as uniform mixtures or as layers with varying mud content. Segregation between muddy and sandy areas is usually observed over large spatial scales (with sandy outer areas gradually fining in the landward direction), but also over small spatial scales. These small spatial scales are characterized by abrupt transitions of the sediment composition over relatively short distances. Understanding where sand and mud prevails is crucial to understand and predict coastal evolution and biological activity.
