Creosote Evaluation: Phase II Sooke Basin Study - Baseline to 535 Days Post Construction 1995-1996

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for site selection, sampling, and storage of sediment samples, based on the Benthic Infaunal Community Analysis (BICA).

Magnitude and extent of sediment toxicity in selected estuaries of South Carolina and Georgia. Technical memo

TL;DR: In a survey of sediment toxicity performed in 1993 and 1994 as discussed by the authors, 162 sediment samples were collected from 162 locations within five estuaries ( Charleston Harbor, Winyah Bay, Leadenwah Creek, Savannah River, and St. Simons Sound) in coastal South Carolina and Georgia.

Spatial distribution and sources of organic matter and pollutants in the SE Mediterranean (Levantine basin) deep water sediments.

TL;DR: The TOC distribution indicated the Nile delta as an important source of organic matter and the important effect of topography on deposition patterns in this region and form a sound baseline for assessing the potential impact of future deep sea drilling activities that are expected to increase significantly in the Eastern Mediterranean basin.

Current approaches to developing sediment quality criteria

TL;DR: It is concluded that, for chemical-by-chemical criteria, the equilibrium partitioning method shows promise; for criteria that are also applicable to chemical mixtures, the apparent effects threshold/sediment quality triad approaches appear to be most appropriate.
