TL;DR: The first discovery and sampling of vast fields of hydrocarbon-derived carbonate chimneys along the Gulf of Cadiz continental slope, at depths between 500 and 1200 m, was reported in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of work conducted on the continental margin of the Gulf of Cadiz using a broad database collected by several cruises and projects supported by the Spanish Research Council and the NRL and Naval Oceanographic Office (USA), including: bathymetry, sidescan sonar imagery, seismic profiles, sediment cores, submarine photographs and physical oceanographic data, has enabled to establish a detailed understanding of the morphologic development of the margin, its Pliocene and Quaternary stratigraphy, and a full characterization of the contourite depositional system (CDS

TL;DR: In this article, a morphosedimentary map of the Gulf of Cadiz is presented, showing the contourite depositional system on the gulf's middle slope, which is constructed from a broad da- tabase provided by the Spanish Research Council and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that in vitro cell culture was equivalent to the “gold standard,” mouse infectivity, for measuring the infectivity of C. parvum and should therefore be considered a practical and accurate alternative for assessing oocyst infectivity and inactivation.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the types of AOB and NOB responsible for nitrification episodes in full-scale chloraminated systems, which should help direct future studies aimed at characterizing relevant AOB growth and inactivation properties.
