- W3173988568 abstract "The Erin modern marginal-marine depositional system sits along the Trinidad southwestern coastline. It is among the many unstudied and undocumented modern, dynamic coastal depositional systems around Trinidad. Our study defines the Erin system as being a deflected and asymmetric wave-dominated delta, and in so doing, elucidates the dynamics of the Erin system. This was done using a compendium of satellite images, temporal cross-shore elevation profiles, modern shallow sediment cores, and sediment samples. Geomorphologically, the Erin system comprises a vegetated delta plain and the unvegetated modern deposits. The delta plain has four amalgamated sand bars with intercalated lagoonal deposits. The unvegetated modern deposits is defined as the fifth bar of the system. These five bars were loosely correlated to the five 6th order eustatic cycles of the Holocene highstand. The modern, unvegetated deposit of the fifth bar is divided into an updrift segment and a downdrift segment relative to the inlet mouth. The updrift segment comprises a spit and beach depositional elements, while the downdrift segment comprises a barrier spit, back-barrier lagoon, rip-channels, and sometimes a bayhead delta at the Erin River mouth. The dynamic, annual evolution of the spit reflects a seasonally controlled, possibly cyclical evolution wherein the delta transitions from being asymmetric to deflected-asymmetric. This phenomenon is postulated to be brought on by seasonal changes in the wave regime, and not, as one might expect, seasonally controlled river discharge. That is, during the summer wave season, when net-deposition occurs, the system morphology is deflected as a consequence of increase sedimentation in the nearshore. During the winter wave season, when net-erosion is expected, the system morphology reflects that of a typical asymmetric delta, as a consequence of reduced sedimentation in the nearshore. This cyclical movement of sediment is also observed in cross-shore elevation profiles. Sedimentologically, six depositional elements were sampled using sediment cores: foreshore, updrift spit, channel bars, mouth bar, barrier spit (downdrift), and back-barrier lagoon. Physical sedimentary structures reflected wave energy dominance across the system with an increase in tidal signatures within the lagoon deposits and lower foreshores. Biogenic sedimentary structures were limited across much of the system, but the traces recorded were mostly isolated in the downdrift back-barrier lagoon deposits, and few in the upper barrier spit. Grainsize distributions showed an average grainsize of fine sand across the system with coarse-grained, poorly sorted, bio-clastic sands present as channel lag deposits. An increase in mud content was recorded in the downdrift segment of the delta. The geomorphological, sedimentological, and ichnological data described above provided sufficient evidence to define the Erin system as an asymmetric wave-dominated delta with seasonally controlled deflected morphology." @default.
