1. 6. Effect of resuspension on mineralisation of organic material : Laboratory studies of water movement intensity and concentration of suspended sediment

   University essay from Institutionen för tematisk utbildning och forskning

   Author : Charlotte Stenborg Larsson; [2005]
   Keywords : Mineralisation rate; organic material; resuspension; water movement intensity; suspended sediment;

   Abstract : The Earth’s surface contains of 71% oceans and a large part of the global carbon cycle takes place in the oceans. In the aquatic environment, the sediment-water interface plays an important role for the mineralisation of organic material. One factor that can affect the mineralisation is resuspension. READ MORE

3. 7. Magnetic grain-size analyses of Holocene sediments in the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea : palaeoceanographic applications

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Torbjörn Wall; [2004]
   Keywords : magnetic grain-size; magnetic hysteresis loops; Reykjanes Ridge; Vøring plateau; North Atlantic; Norwegian Sea; deep ocean currents; Holocene; magnetisk kornstorlek; magnetiska hysteresis-lopar; Reykjanesryggen; Vøringplatån; Nordatlanten; Norska havet; djuphavsströmmar; Holocen; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High-resolution magnetic hysteresis measurements were carried out on three sediment cores, one from the North Atlantic and two from the Norwegian Sea. These measurements can be used to reconstruct changes in magnetic grain-size. Physical grain-size has been interpreted as a proxy for bottom current intensity (McCave et al. READ MORE
