Description:

"Sediment accumulation (S) was measured at nine sediment Ưtrap locations in Faga'alu Bay at a monthly interval over a 1 year period (2014-2015), and sediments analyzed for geochemistry and particle size. The spatial distribution of S was related to circulation patterns documented with GPS Ưenabled drifters, and a statistical model assembled to predict monthly S as a function of watershed suspended sediment load and ocean forcing (wave height)"--Executive Summary.
