The scenario
A sedimentologist plans a study of Outer Banks coastal dune sands combining grain-size statistics and quartz microtexture to infer transport and maturity.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Use transect-based sampling across foredune, backdune, and beach
02
Apply moment measures and ANOVA by dune zone
03
Analyze microtexture via SEM to distinguish aeolian vs. marine histories
Reuse for coastal aeolian sediment provenance, grain-size distribution studies, or dune mobility assessments.
