The First Colorimetric Characteristic of Bottom Sediments from the Chukchi Sea

摘要

The quantitative characteristics of the bottom sediment color of the Chukchi Sea is presented. The correlation relationships with the contents of grain-size fractions, chemical elements, and biogenic components are analyzed. The diagenetic factor influence is considered. The prospects of the colorimetric index such as saturation S is noted in the matter of lithostratigraphy.
