Abstract
The cyclic nature of Late Quaternary Nile Cone sediments is a response to major climatic oscillations, including marked changes in sea level, Nile River discharge and sediment influx and water mass stratification. Deposits have accumulated most rapidly north-west of the Nile Rosetta Branch since the Early Wurm. A broad area of low sedimentation on the Cone, initiated during the Holocene sea-level rise, is predicted to increase in size as a result of the Aswan High Dam and modification of Nile River flow.
