Abstract
The recent sediments of Broken Bay (Australia) have been investigated to determine the environmental conditions prevailing in this estuary. Using Q‐mode cluster analysis of grainsize data four sedimentary environments have been defined and interpreted as of high and low energy of marine and fluvial origin. The behaviour of water masses as inferred from these four environments agrees with the hydrological data.Keywords
