dc.description.abstractThe Sungai Pahang delta has traditionally been classified as an example of a wave dominated delta. However at its coastline, the Pahang delta exhibits a variety of morphologies and facies which represent an excellent example of intermingling process between fluvial, wave, longshore drift and micro tidal. The coastline comprises of a northern linear beach, a central river mouth and a southern micro-tidal coast. The northern linear wave dominated beach has a cuspate form at Kuala Pahang receiving sand from the river mouth in the north and south or from indirect sources such as reworked shelf sands which are influenced by the long shore drift. At the central river mouth of Kuala Pahang, numerous mid channel bars formed illustrating high sediment influx from the provenance and transgressed by the influence of combined effect of tidal energy, long shore drift and the wave front. The southern part of the Pahang delta has developed into a barrier beach complex, lagoon, marsh, tidal flat and spit as combined results of down drift long shore current and micro tidal effect. New geological and geophysical surveys were conducted in the Sungai Pahang coastline area to understand the delta depositional processes. Previous geomorphology and subsurface academic journal were studied and integrated to assist in the understanding of how the Sungai Pahang basin was filled. Consequently, an alternative depositional model of Sungai Pahang delta that incorporated the effect of Holocene eustasy is offered.en_US
