Abstract
A 2-fold research was conducted on samples from the Elbe river in West Germany. One objective of the study was to estimate to what extent ma rine solids are transported upstream and to evaluate the origin and be haviour of the sediments. In addition, we hoped to acquire a better in sight about the impact of a major discharge event and of the Hamburg h arbour on the composition of the suspended particulate matter. Two dif ferent kinds of samples were studied by single particle analysis using an automated electron microprobe to pursue these objectives: sediment samples from a longitudinal profile collected in 1986 and suspended m atter samples from a maximum peak flow discharge event in 1988.
