Popis: Martins, S. E. M; Barcellos, R. L; Flores-Montes, M. J. and Franca, E. J. 2016. Depositional evolution in a lagoonal estuarine system under a port influence in Northeastern Brazil. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 83–87. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The Holocene evolution reconstruction corroborates to understand sediment dynamics and, recent anthropogenic environmental changes; in addition, may subsidize the future prospects of its development. The aim of this work is to elaborate a historical comparative analysis of the total organic matter content (TOM), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and grain size variation in a estuarine environment and adjacent inner shelf area under influence of Recife Port (8°03′S/34°53″W), Northeastern Brazil. Two sediment cores were collected (Jun/2013), one (1.26m long) in the inlet of th...
