Hypsometry and Volume of the Arctic Ocean and Its Constituent Seas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper presents an analysis of the Arctic Ocean and its constituent seas for seafloor area distribution versus depth and ocean volume. The bathymetry from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) is used together with limits ...

On the biogeography and ecology of the Southern Ocean decapod fauna

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
The biogeography and ecology of decapod crustaceans was described for the higher latitudes of the Southern Ocean. The analyzed area included the transitional or antiboreal region of the South American continental shelves (south of about 42°30'S), the ...

Enhanced chemical weathering of rocks during the last glacial maximum: a sink for atmospheric CO2? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
It has been proposed that increased rates of chemical weathering and the related drawdown of atmospheric CO2 on the continents may have at least partly contributed to the low CO2 concentrations during the last glacial maximum LGM..

Growth of Continental Shelves at Salt Margins

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Whereas, salt margins are rather common, the growth of continental shelves on top of salt margins is a topic that has seldom been considered. In such settings, the sediments coming from the nearby continental areas are deposited on a viscous substratum ...

Formation and distribution of water masses on the shelf and continental slope around Antarctica

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Field studies of the last decades show that the structure and characteristics of the waters on the continental shelf of Antarctica have significant spatial differences.

Observing Antarctic Bottom Water in the Southern Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Dense, cold waters formed on Antarctic continental shelves descend along the Antarctic continental margin, where they mix with other Southern Ocean waters to form Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW).

Sediment transport in the coastal ocean: a retrospective evaluation of the benthic tripod and its impact, past, present, and future

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
In-situ observations of near-bed flow and sediment transport have been carried out for approximately 50 years. The observational technique employs a benthic tripod which can remain submerged on the seafloor for an extended period of time upon which are ...

Bottom sediments of Lake Rotoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Lake Rotoma is a deep (70-80 m), oligotrophic, warm monomictic lake of volcanic origin with insignificant stream inflow and no clearly defined outflow. For at least 60 years up to 1972 the lake level fluctuated markedly about an overall rising trend of ...

Organic carbon densities and accumulation rates in surface sediments of the North Sea and Skagerrak [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2021
Continental shelf sediments are places of both rapid organic carbon turnover and accumulation, while at the same time increasingly subjected to human-induced disturbances.

Quaternary sediment patterns in the Weddell Sea: relations and environmental conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Sediment patterns such as texture, composition, and facies from three selected areas of the Antarctic continental margin of the Weddell Sea are discussed in relation to environmental variations of the Quaternary hydrosphere and kryosphere.
