ABSTRACT Woo, H.J.; Kang, J.; Lee, J.-H., and Jang, S., 2016. Seasonal changes in sediment characteristics on the tidal flat in Geunso Bay, west coast of Korea.

Geunso Bay, located in Taean, western Korean Peninsula, is a semi-enclosed-type bay with a mean tidal range of about 6 m. Tidal flats are largely developed along the sides of the bay. A digital elevation model showed that 95% of the total area of the bay is tidal flat. Observations in both winter and summer of 2009 revealed that the surface sediments in the bay were mainly muddy sand, and the sediments were classified into five sedimentary facies: sandy silt, slightly gravelly sandy mud/sandy mud, slightly gravelly muddy sand/muddy sand, silty sand, and sand. In the eastern tidal flat, the...
