Anoxic nitrification in marine sediments [PDF]
Nitrate peaks are found in pore-water profiles in marine sediments at depths considerably below the conventional zone of oxic nitrification. These have been interpreted to represent nonsteady- state effects produced by the activity of nitrifying ...

Bioturbation experiments in the Venice Lagoon [PDF]
Short experiments (14–21 days) were carried out during autumn 1998 and spring 1999 at one selected site of the Venice Lagoon to measure bioturbation activities and mixing rates, as well as to obtain quantitative information on benthos functionality ...

Preliminary Investigation of the Extent of Sediment Contamination in the Lower Grand River [PDF]
A preliminary investigation of the nature and extent of sediment contamination in the lower Grand River was performed. Three areas in the lower Grand River exceeded sediment quality guidelines for heavy metals and selected organic chemicals.

Rising methane gas bubbles form massive hydrate layers at the seafloor [PDF]
Extensive methane hydrate layers are formed in the near-surface sediments of the Cascadia margin. An undissociated section of such a layer was recovered at the base of a gravity core (i.e.

Mass wasting at the base of the South central Chilean continental margin: the Reloca Slide [PDF]
Offshore south central Chile (35° S–42° S), the morphology of the lowermost continental slope and trench floor witnesses a voluminous submarine mass-wasting event.
