Examination of polished sections of manganese micronodules
from metalliferous sediments from the Bauer Deep reveals sequences
of ferromanganese deposition which are consistent for micronodules
from a single sediment sample and imply a common depositional
history for members of such assemblages. The relatively simple
'stratigraphy' of manganese micronodules, as compared to...
During the GEOSECS cruise of the R/V KNORR, July 1972-April 1973, a very complete and high quality nutrient data set was acquired for the Atlantic Ocean. One hundred and twenty-one hydrographic
stations were occupied throughout the Atlantic providing an
internally consistent picture of the nutrient dynamics for this ocean.
The...
Small, mountainous river systems have been increasingly studied due to their importance as sources of fluvial sediment and organic matter to the coastal ocean. Thus far, studies of small, mountainous river systems have focused on rivers with very high sediment loads. The well-studied Eel River dispersal system in northern California...
A study was undertaken in Yaquina Bay, Oregon during the
summer of 1964 to determine the distribution and the factors affecting
the distribution of the polychaete worm, Nephtys caecoides,
Hartman, 1938, in the estuary.
This organism has a continuous distribution from offshore to
a point approximately eight kilometers into the...
During October 2000 the Po River, Italy's largest river, experienced a historically significant flood, producing a deposit on the adjacent prodelta. In December 2000 an event-response study of the deposit was conducted, and during the ensuing 16 months three additional sampling cruises were conducted to study the subsequent evolution of...
The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South
Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection,
along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing.
The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced
from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to
describe the...
