This review provides an assessment of sediment trap accuracy issues by gathering data to
address trap hydrodynamics, the problem of zooplankton" swimmers," and the solubilization …

A wide variety of substances, including known or potential pollutants, become associated
with particles in coastal marine environments. This association may result from:(1) ion …

The particulate concentrations of 17 trace metals, Al, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se,
Ag, Sb, Au, Hg, Pb and Th have been measured in the marine atmosphere (58 samples) and …

The relationship between primary production in the surface ocean and export of particulate
organic carbon (POC) on sinking particles is examined in studies that have utilized 234Th as …

During the past decade data from a variety of sources have been obtained which show
conclusively that the relatively rare, large particles sinking through the water column are …

Microbes control the decomposition of organic matter inmarine sediments. Decomposition,
in turn, contributes to oceanic nutrient regeneration and influences the preservation of …

The distribution of 234Th, 230Th, and 228Th between dissolved and particulate forms was
determined in 17 seawater samples from the Guatemala and Panama basins. Sampling was …

Concentrations of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were determined in particles that
passively sank into multi-replicate collectors set at 50, 250, and 700 m in coastal waters, and …

In the past, marine sedimentologists have been unable to quantitatively investigate modern
sediment accumulation on continental shelves, but recent development of Pb-210 …

The general form of Cu-depth profiles is unique. In the central North Pacific, values decrease
from a surface maximum of about 3 nmol/kg to 1.5 nmol/kg in the upper thermocline. Below …
