Foraminiferal assemblages in the Ubatuba Bay, south-eastern Brazilian Coast

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2006
Live benthic foraminifera assemblages were studied in 40 surface sediment samples collected in the Ubatuba Bay (northern coast of São Paulo State) in order to investigate the relationship between the geological, physicochemical parameters and the ...

Sedimentary CaCO3 Accumulation in the Deep West Pacific Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Distribution of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in marine sediment has been studied over the last century, and influence by multiple factors with regard to dissolution and dilution of sedimentary CaCO3 has long been established.

Sediment structure and physicochemical changes following tidal inundation at a large open coast managed realignment site [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Managed realignment (MR) schemes are being implemented to compensate for the loss of intertidal saltmarsh habitats by breaching flood defences and inundating the formerly defended coastal hinterland.

Geochemistry of reduced inorganic sulfur, reactive iron, and organic carbon in fluvial and marine surface sediment in the Laizhou Bay region, China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the geochemical cycling of sulfur in sediments is important because it can have implications for both modern environments (e.g., deterioration of water quality) and interpretation of the ancient past (e.g., sediment C/S ratios can be used ...

Use of rare earth oxides as tracers to identify sediment source areas for agricultural hillslopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding sediment sources is essential to enable more effective targeting of in-field mitigation approaches to reduce diffuse pollution from agricultural land.

Tuning sedimentation through surface charge and particle shape [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Mud forms the foundation of many coastal and tidal environments. Clay suspensions carried downstream from rivers encounter saline waters, which encourages aggregation and sedimentation by reducing electrostatic repulsion among particles. We perform experiments to examine the effects of surface charge on both the rate and style of sedimentation, using ...

Solute Reservoirs Reflect Variability of Early Diagenetic Processes in Temperate Brackish Surface Sediments

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Coastal marine sediments are a hotspot of organic matter degradation. Mineralization products of early diagenetic processes accumulate in the pore waters of the sediment, are subject of biological uptake and secondary biogeochemical processes and are ...

Radiocarbon reservoir ages from freshwater lakes, south Georgia, sub-Antarctic: Modern analogues from particulate organic matter and surface sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Lake sediments have the potential to preserve proxy records of past climate change. Organic material suitable for radiocarbon dating often provides age control of such proxy records.

Estimating specific surface area of fine stream bed sediments from geochemistry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Specific surface area (SSA) of headwater stream bed sediments is a fundamental property which determines the nature of sediment surface reactions and influences ecosystem-level, biological processes.

A cost-effective method to quantify biological surface sediment reworking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We propose a simple and inexpensive method to determine the rate and pattern of surface sediment reworking by benthic organisms. Unlike many existing methods commonly used in bioturbation studies, which usually require sediment sampling, our approach is ...
