Journal ArticleDOI
Sources and distribution of terrigenous organic matter delivered by the Atchafalaya River to sediments in the northern Gulf of Mexico
TL;DR: The results of the mixing calculation indicate that terrigenous OM (soil-derived OM and vascular plant debris) accounts for ∼79% of the organic matter (OM) deposited as inshore sediments and 66% of OM deposited as offshore sediments as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and reworking of a seasonal flood deposit on the inner continental shelf off the Atchafalaya River
TL;DR: Sediment cores and water column measurements of suspended sediment and flow conditions were taken on the continental shelf off the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana to examine the development and reworking of a seabed flood layer with seasonal variations in river discharge and hydrodynamics as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on the distribution and accumulation of terrigenous organic matter in sediments from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya river margin
TL;DR: Sediment samples from 14 box cores across the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River Margin were examined in order to quantify the magnitude and composition of the OM depositional flux in sediments from a river-dominated margin and identify the fate of terrigenous OM in the study area as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic matter distribution and accumulation on the inner Louisiana shelf west of the Atchafalaya River
TL;DR: The Atchafalaya sediment samples from seven shallow cross-shelf transects were analyzed during three sampling periods to determine the distribution of organic matter along the shelf and to evaluate the temporal variability of its deposition as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin biomarkers and pollen in postglacial sediments of an Alaskan lake
TL;DR: This article analyzed a 12,000-yr sediment core from Wien Lake, central Alaska, for a suite of phenolic products from CuO oxidation of lignin polymers and compared their composition with pollen data from the same core.
