Bertagnolli, Anthony D.

Abstract:

Continental shelves located along eastern boundary currents occupy relatively small volumes of the world’s oceans, yet are responsible for a large proportion of global primary production. The Oregon coast is among these ecosystems. Recent analyses of dissolved oxygen at shallow depths in the water column has suggested increasing episodes of...

Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...
