Sediment analysis is a scientific study that involves the examination and analysis of sedimentary materials, which are typically composed of particles that have been transported and deposited by water, wind, ice, or other geological processes. Sediments can provide valuable information about past environmental conditions, such as climate change, volcanic eruptions, or human impact on the landscape. Researchers use various techniques, such as grain size analysis, mineralogy, and geochemistry, to analyze sediment samples and interpret the information they contain. Sediment analysis is widely used in fields such as geology, environmental science, archaeology, and paleoclimatology.
