Transport of participate material across continental shelves is well demonstrated by the
distributions on the seabed and in the water column of geological, chemical, or biological …

Deep-sea benthic ecosystems are sustained largely by organic matter settling from the
euphotic zone. These fluxes usually have a more or less well-defined seasonal component …

The role of Posidonia oceanica in promoting sediment stability and accretion was studied in
a 15m deep meadow at Fanals Point (NW Mediterranean, Spain) by comparing particle …

The coastal ocean meets the deep sea at the continental shelf edge. Questions of global
change entail elucidation of the processes that determine the quantities, transformation and …

For years scientists viewed the deep sea as calm, quiet, and undisturbed, with marine
species existing in an ecologically stable and uniform environment. Recent discoveries have …

Macrofaunal abundance, biomass, diversity and species assemblages within Scripps and
La Jolla Submarine Canyons are compared with those on the nearby continental shelf and …

A microwave acid digestion method prior to the determination of 210 Pb and 210 Po in
sediments and soils is described. It involves an acid (HNO 3, HCl, HF and H 3 BO 3 mixture) …

Surface sediment was sampled at two bathyal sites in the southwestern Gulf of Lions in the
western Mediterranean Sea in February and August 1997 to study the distribution and …

Contemporary suspended sediment transport was studied in seven submarine canyons of
the Gulf of Lions (GoL). Current meters equipped with turbidity sensors were moored 4 m …

To investigate the processes by which sediment is supplied to the head of a submarine
canyon, an instrumented tripod and a mooring were deployed in the northern thalweg of the …
