Includes bibliographical references (pages 16-18). "Concern for the transport and fate of chemical contaminants in estuaries is the impetus behind recent interest in more effective methods of measuring suspended sediment concentrations than the traditional grab or pumped water sample methods. Backscatterance measurements of particle concentrations offer much promise as a reliable and rapid response method and even the potential in certain cases for remote sensing of concentration. Such new methods would be particularly advantageous in estuaries of the type studied in this work that present difficult sampling problems due to their large horizontal scales and dynamic nature"--Abstract. gccst Pollutants gccst Sediments gccst Estuaries Canada.
