Abstract
A 2-fold research was conducted on samples from the Elbe river in West Germany. One objective of the study was to estimate to what extent marine solids are transported upstream and to evaluate the origin and behaviour of the sediments. In addition, we hoped to acquire a better insight about the impact of a major discharge event and of the Hamburg harbour on the composition of the suspended particulate matter. Two different kinds of samples were studied by single particle analysis using an automated electron microprobe to pursue these objectives: sediment samples from a longitudinal profile collected in 1986 and suspended matter samples from a maximum peak flow discharge event in 1988.
