Summary

Elemental chemistry and weight percent of the less than 0.063 mm fine sediment fraction are reported for surface sediments from shoals, the ebb tide delta, local tributaries, and inland rivers that carry sediment to San Francisco Bay, California.

Purpose

A sediment geochemical sourcing study was carried out in San Francisco Bay, its local tributaries, and inland rivers to explore the relative importance of fine sediment inputs from local versus inland watersheds. The availability of sediment from local watersheds is an important consideration for wetland habitat restoration and coastal resilience planning because sediment loads from inland watersheds are decreasing and relative water levels are increasing.
