Spatial and temporal bottom sediment characteristics of Pahang river estuary, Pahang, Malaysia

Bottom sediment samples from Pahang river- estuary were analyzed for the sediment characteristics in order to understand better sedimentation processes in the estuary. The mean, sorting,skewness and kurtosis values of each sample were determined by the Moment’s method. This study showed that the se...
