Abstract:: The organic content of the Columbia River suspended particulate matter (SPM) results from the input of autochthonous (phytoplankton) and allochthonous (terrestrial vascular plants) production. The contribution of these two sources appears seasonal and responds to factors such as rainfall, runoff, river flow, light and nutrients availability. While numerous studies have...

Full Text:: Quality and Content in Columbia River Suspended Particulate Matter by Cupric Oxide Oxidation Abstract

Creator:: Covert, Paul Allister
Abstract:: Suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Columbia River is a mixture of particles of several origins having varying physical and biogeochemical properties. The relative abundances of these freshwater particles changes with season and apparently also with tide. Prior investigation has quantified seasonal variation of organic material in both the Columbia...

Creator:: Hunt, Louise
Abstract:: 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...
