Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative estimates of biological mixing rates in abyssal sediments
TL;DR: In this article, a time-dependent eddy diffusion model was proposed for biological mixing in deep-sea sediments, where mixing takes place to a depth L at constant eddy diffusivity D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processes affecting the concentration of silica at the sediment-water interface of the Atlantic Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for interstitial silica concentrations is derived, incorporating biological mixing of sediments, and the model predicts concentrations and gradients and can account for the observed geographical variations in interstitial Silica on the basis of a dynamic balance between solution of silica particles and diffusion from the sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a submersible sample of thermogenic hydrocarbon gases, from vents and gas hydrate mounds within a sea-floor chemosynthetic community on the Gulf of Mexico continental slope at about 540 m depth, was collected by research sub-mersible.
Journal ArticleDOI
129I in Gulf of Mexico waters
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of this release are clearly visible in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, far from the major sources, and the observed levels exceed amounts expected from globally distributed nuclear test fallout.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radium, thorium, and actinium extraction from seawater using an improved manganese-oxide-coated fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, improved manganese-oxide-coated acrylic fibers were used to extract radium, thorium, and actinium from seawater, and experiments were made using surface seawater spiked with227Ac,227Th, and223Ra.
