Continental Shelf Research

This file contains supplemental data for a manuscript entitled, "Retention of alluvial sediment in the tidal delta of a river draining a small, mountainous coastal watershed," published in Continental Shelf Research. Data files include particle size distribution, sediment core chronologies, sediment elemental abundance, and sediment bulk density and organic content for eight analyzed sediment cores. Data is in excel format; description is found in at the readme tab in each file.

Major and minor elements concentrations in sediment cores from the NW Mexican margin.

A sampling of 179 stations (regular grid, distance of 500 m between stations) was conducted in January and February 2016 (on 19, 20, 21 January 2016, with tidal coefficients of 56 to 72; and on 13 February 2016, with a tidal coefficient of 94) using a 0.04 m2 Shipeck grab aboard the GPMH (Grand Port Maritime du Havre) vessel “Le Marais”, between the Cap de la Hève and the Cap d’Antifer (Bay of Seine). Colum A to C: Coordinates in decimal degrees for all stations studied between Cape Hève and Cape Antifer. Column D to I, XRF measurement results (Xsort, ppm) for Si (silicon), S (sulphide), As (arsenic), BrOrg (organic bromine), Rb (rubidium), Pb (lead). Column J: TOC content obtained by combustion in a LECO CS 744 carbon sulphur analyzer (%). Column K and L: mediane and mean of Particule size, analyzed with laser diffraction particle-size analysez. Column M: group defined for interpretation into publication.

Data provided with this paper: - Spreadsheet with values for marine relative flooded area, flooding magnitude, flooding rate and coastline length, for each sea-level increment and latitudinal zone (GBR_flooding_summary_latitudinal_zones.xlsx) - Files with values for marine relative flooded area, flooding magnitude, flooding rate and coastline length grouped by sub-region (COASTLINE_length_subRegions.csv, COASTLINE_length_change_subRegions.csv, SHELF_relative_flooding_subRegions.csv, SHELF_flooding_magnitude_rate_subRegions.csv, SHELF-MARGIN_relative_flooding_subRegions.csv, SHELF-MARGIN_flooding_magnitude_rate_subRegions.csv). - Spreadsheet with age control for shelf-edge boreholes shown in Figure 2 and some plots (Age_control_cores_GR.xlsx). Data extracted from Felis et al. (2014) and Webster et al. (2011) and used to link the boreholes and Gamma ray logs to the flooding curves.
