The aim of this study is to elucidate the fine sediment dynamics, which may have a key role on the deformation of the deltaic topography around the estuary, in a tropical climate environment where experiences apparent seasonal variation of river discharge due to the wet and dry weather condition. We conducted field survey and successfully captured the difference between the wet and dry season in vertical structure of bulk density through the water column through consolidated mud bed. Observed data including the seasonal variation of fluid mud thickness can be applied for the modeling works as our future work.
