Siberian-Arctic shelf surface-sediments: sources, transport pathways and processes, and diagenetic alteration

Creator:

Viscosi-Shirley, Carolyn

Abstract:

This thesis investigates lithogenic sediments on the Siberian Arctic shelf, their sources, modes of dispersal, transport pathways and post-depositional diagenetic alteration. Working with cores collected from the Chukchi, East Siberian and Laptev Seas, we characterize surface-sediment elemental chemistry and clay mineralogy. We identify five regions with endmember sedimentary compositions. Comparing...
