Sedimentary organic matter : distribution and alteration processes in the coastal upwelling region off Peru

Creator:: Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: Recent organic-rich deposits on the Peru continental margin occur along the upper slope (100-450 m) between about ll°S and 16°S and along the lower continental slope (>2000 m). The upper slope deposits reflect high biological production in response to coastal upwelling, but preservation of organic matter is enhanced by the...

Creator:: Selk, Bruce W.
Abstract:: The Blanco Trough, a deep depression located in the Blanco Fracture Zone near the intersection with the Juan de Fuca Ridge, contains unusual manganese-enriched layered sediments. Due to the Blanco Trough's bathymetric isolation and confinement, and its location in a tectonically active zone, three hypotheses concerning the origin and cause...

Paleomagnetic inclination shallowing in deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Arason, Pórdur
Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...
