Reconstructing an estuarine environment: Insights from granulometric, petrographic and geochemical analyses of the Imiegba sedimentary sequences

Key Points

• Insights from granulometric analysis reveal particle size distributions in sediment samples, indicating various depositional environments.
• Geochemical analysis identifies elemental compositions that reflect historical environmental conditions and changes.
• Petrographic analysis provides details on mineralogical content, enhancing understanding of sediment provenance and transport.
• Study findings could inform future environmental assessments and management practices in estuarine ecosystems.
