This contribution has focused on the sediment composition of estuaries. It has shown that all estuaries share some common features in relation to the sediment composition along and across the estuarine waterbody. However, this composition will depend on the geographical location of the estuary, on the estuary’s origin, on the relative contribution of different physical processes and sediment sources, and on the landscape characteristics.
