Fluorescent tracer: transport in distance and depth in beach sands.
Foreshore tidal-cycle transport of sediment along a beach profile can be traced in distance and depth by the use of fluorescent pigments. Sediment cores are obtained from locations on the profile, dyed in horizontal segments, and returned to their original positions in the beach. Analyses of flood-and ebb-tide samples of sediment reveal the pattern of littoral zone sedimentation.
