TLDR
A profile of filtered seawater and brine samples was collected in the summer of 2003 from a depth of 1500m down to the bottom of the anoxic, hypersaline Orca Basin (northern Gulf of Mexico) using ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as mentioned in this paper.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Paleodepositional conditions in the Orca Basin as inferred from organic matter and trace metal contents
Nicolas Tribovillard,Viviane Bout-Roumazeilles,Thomas J. Algeo,Timothy W. Lyons,Thomas Sionneau,Jean-Carlos Montero-Serrano,Armelle Riboulleau,François Baudin +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the same authors report on organic matter (OM) and trace metal contents in the upper 750 cm below sea floor (cmbsf) of Core MD02-2552 (mostly Holocene) and deposited under permanently stratified bottom conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple evidence for methylotrophic methanogenesis as the dominant methanogenic pathway in hypersaline sediments from the Orca Basin, Gulf of Mexico
Guang-Chao Zhuang,Guang-Chao Zhuang,Felix J Elling,Lisa M Nigro,Vladimir A. Samarkin,Samantha B. Joye,Andreas Teske,Kai-Uwe Hinrichs +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined biogeochemical and phylogenetic analyses with incubation experiments to unravel the origin of methane in the hypersaline sediments of Orca Basin in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical tracing and hydrogeochemical modelling of water-rock interactions during salinization of alluvial groundwater (Upper Rhine Valley, France)
Yann Lucas,Anne-Désirée Schmitt,Anne-Désirée Schmitt,François Chabaux,A. Clement,B. Fritz,Philippe Elsass,S. Durand +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled hydrogeochemical model has been developed with the numerical code KIRMAT, which demonstrates that cationic exchange between alkalis from polluted waters and alkaline-earth elements from montmorillonite present in the host rock of the aquifer is the primary process controlling the geochemical evolution of the groundwater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypersaline waters pose new challenges for reconstructing environmental histories of fish based on otolith chemistry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of hypersaline conditions on the water chemistry of the Coorong Lagoon, the terminal estuary of Australia's largest river, and the otolith chemistry of a common fish within the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iodine as a sensitive tracer for detecting influence of organic-rich shale in shallow groundwater
Zunli Lu,Sunshyne T. Hummel,Laura K. Lautz,Gregory D. Hoke,Xiaoli Zhou,James Leone,Donald I. Siegel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used halogen concentrations, particularly bromine and iodine, to characterize natural variability of baseline water chemistry in the southern tier of New York State and found that the majority of streams and drinking water wells have Br and I concentrations below 1 and 0.1μm, respectively, a range typical for relatively pristine surface water and shallow groundwater.

Diffusion of ions in sea water and in deep-sea sediments
Li Yuan-Hui,Sandra Gregory +1 more
TL;DR: The tracer diffusion coefficients of ions in deep-sea sediments, Dj,sed., can be related to Dj∗ by as mentioned in this paper, where θ is the tortuosity of the bulk sediment and a constant close to one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density, thermal expansivity, and compressibility of liquid water from 0° to 150°C: correlations and tables for atmospheric pressure and saturation reviewed and expressed on 1968 temperature scale.
TL;DR: In this article, a review is given of the temperature dependence of the density of liquid water from 40" to 150°C and the error in the calculated compressibilities is estimated as 03 X lO-'bar-' at 4'C and as7 X 100°C at 4''C.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evaporation path of seawater and the coprecipitation of Br- and K+ with halite.
TL;DR: Brines and salt were sampled at the Morton Bahamas solar salt production facility on Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas and analyzed by ion chromatography to define more precisely than heretofore the evaporation path of seawater to the end of the halite facies.
