ABSTRACT

Mineral magnetic variations are a function of environmental change because of which it can be used towards elucidation of a diversity of problems, including the mangroves. The mineral magnetic technique, in the present attempt, is applied on consolidated and unconsolidated sedimentary samples from mangrove depositional environment that includes freshwater as well as marine influenced sediments. Various mineral magnetic parameters and their ratios are harnessed to ascertain likely composition and grain size of the magnetic mineral assemblage. The high resolution data generated in the present study revealed climatic and oxidation-reduction conditions. The magnetic observatory inclination values were correlated with sediment inclination values to arrive at a robust age-depth model. Keywords: Environmental, Mineral magnetic, Sediments, Mangroves
