Abstract

Abstract

Kongsfjorden being close to two tidewater glaciers at the high-latitudes of arctic, is an established reference site for study of the marine-glacial sedimentary processes and sedimentary environments. Fifty-four surface sediment samples were collected from Kongsfjorden during the summer scientific expedition of Chinese Arctic Huanghe River Station, in2007—2008. The grain-size characteristics of the sediment samples were studied and compared with modern moraine sediments of Europe, North America and China using the methods of discrete map for standard deviation and mean grain size. The marine-glacial deposits in Kongsfjorden can be divided into two major types according to the division of glacial-marine deposits types: residual paratill and compound paratill. The source of glacial-marine deposits and processes of glacial marine sedimentation were preliminarily discussed.
- Kongsfjorden,
- glacial-marine deposits,
- statistic parameters of grain size,
- sedimentary processes
