Journal ArticleDOI
African dust and the demise of Caribbean Coral Reefs
Eugene A. Shinn,Garriet W. Smith,Joseph M. Prospero,Peter R. Betzer,Marshall L. Hayes,Virginia H. Garrison,Richard T. Barber +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is proposed that the hundreds of millions of tons/year of soil dust that have been crossing the Atlantic during the last 25 years could be a significant contributor to coral reef decline and may be affecting other ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary productivity and particle fluxes on a transect of the equator at 153°W in the Pacific Ocean
Peter R. Betzer,William J. Showers,Edward A. Laws,Christopher D. Winn,Giacomo R. DiTullio,Peter M Kroopnick +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a free-drifting sediment trap deployed at 900 m at four stations in the Pacific Ocean between 12°N and 6°S at 153°W.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long–range transport of giant mineral aerosol particles
Peter R. Betzer,Kendall L. Carder,Robert A. Duce,John T. Merrill,Neil Tindale,Mitsuo Uematsu,Mitsuo Uematsu,D. K. Costello,R. W. Young,Richard A. Feely,J. A. Breland,Renate E. Bernstein,Anthony M. Greco +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coordinated effort, Asian Dust Input to the Oceanic System (ADIOS), which simultaneously measured mineral fluxes in the atmosphere and upper water column during such an event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment resuspension by coastal waters: a potential mechanism for nutrient re-cycling on the ocean's margins
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of resuspension by stirring the supernatant seawater over a clay-rich core produced similar increase in silica and nitrate plus nitrite, with ammonia being the apparent precursor to the nitrate and nitrite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphologies and transformations of celestite in seawater: The role of acantharians in strontium and barium geochemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, free-drifting sediment traps deployed at 400, 1500, and 3200 m were used to collect particles near the US JGOFS Time-Series Station (31°49.5′N and 64°08.2′W) in the Atlantic Ocean.
