Flocculation of dissolved organic and inorganic matter during the mixing of river water and seawater

Edward R. Sholkovitz
- 01 Jul 1976 -

TLDR
In this paper, a new approach to estuarine studies is presented which establishes 1) the extent and salinity dependence of non-conservative behaviour; 2) composition and chemical form of removal products; and 3) abiological removal mechanisms.

Study and Interpretation of the Chemical Characteristics of Natural Water

TL;DR: The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from human activities.
Book

Organic geochemistry of natural waters

E. M. Thurman
TL;DR: The first part of the book as mentioned in this paper is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters, and the second part is a summary of the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.

What happens to terrestrial organic matter in the ocean

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the transport and transformations of land-derived organic matter in the ocean, highlighting recent research on the patterns and processes involved in the degradation of terrestrial organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics, dynamics and significance of marine snow

TL;DR: Diatom flocculation is a poorly understood source of marine snow of potential global significance and rates of snow production and breakdown are critical to predicting flux and to understanding biological community structure and transformations of matter and energy in the water column.
Journal ArticleDOI

The changing carbon cycle of the coastal ocean

TL;DR: The sources, exchanges and fates of carbon in the coastal ocean and how anthropogenic activities have altered the carbon cycle are discussed.

Ferrozine---a new spectrophotometric reagent for iron

TL;DR: The ferroin group has been known to react as bidentate ligands with certain metal ions such as ferrous, cuprous, and cobaltous, to give colored complex species.

Evolution of sedimentary rocks

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that recycling and evolution are complementary concepts and that the observed secular variations in relative proportions of lithologic types and in chemistry of sedimentary rocks were mostly given an evolutionary interpretation.
