Twelve Years' Measurement of Accretion on Norfolk Salt Marshes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In this magazine for January, 1938, there appeared a short note on the rate of sedimentation in the salt marshes of Scolt Head Island. The records then only covered two years. In a note in the Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc., 15, 1939, 41, some additional readings, covering four years, were published and analysed. This summer (June, 1947) I was able to measure the accretion again after a further interval of eight years, so that we now have rates and averages for two, four, and eight years. Unfortunately the line on Aster Marsh was partly destroyed during the war when it regrettably formed part of the target area for artillery fire.
