Abstract

Estuarine settings consist of several sub-environments, each of which can be characterized by various groups of microfossils: this chapter focuses on foraminifera, testate amoebae and tintinnids. These groups of protists occur in high abundance and are present through the geological record. Thus, the remains of these protists, when preserved within estuarine sediments, can be used in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of e.g. sea-level, post-glacial history, monitoring current pollution or investigating recovery from pollution following remediation. Here we describe these microfossil groups, introduce applications and present selected case studies.
