Abstract
ABSTRACT Hanamgond, P.T.; Gawali, P.B.; Lakshmi, B.V.; Mahesh Babu, J.L.V., and Deendayalan, K., 2017. Sediment texture and geochemistry of beaches between Redi-Vengurla, Sindhudurg, west coast of India. Textural and geochemical determinations were carried out on three beaches (Vengurla, Aravali, and Redi) of the Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra, west coast of India. Seasonal sediments from the beach were collected during 2003–04 to understand the sediment dynamics (texture, dispersal pattern, depositional environment, etc.) and geochemical characteristics. In general, a seaward grain size fining is seen along Vengurla beach (swash-backwash phenomenon), with a coarsening seaward trend along Aravali and Redi beaches (high-energy conditions). The CM pattern studies reveal traction currents as the transport mechanism. Thus, the sediments of the study area are deposited under moderate to high-energy conditions. The geochemical study shows that the percentages of V, Cr, and Zr are greater in premonsoon; Si, Al...
