Baltic Sea sediments preview

The samples are from two offshore sites Kytö (off the city of Espoo in the Gulf of Finland) and Tahkoluoto (off the city of Pori in the Bothnian Sea). The samples consist of fine-grained sediments and were taken from the depth of up to 5 m of the seabed. The structure and material properties between clay layers were the main interest of the study. In addition, the samples were used for quality control purposes regarding geotechnical analyses.

The following publications, which will be included in Maarit Saresma’s dissertation describe selected samples and depths in more detail:
