Contributions of phytoplankton and other particles to inherent optical properties in New England continental shelf waters
Variability in upper ocean optical properties is often driven by changes in the particle pool. We investigated the effects of such changes by characterizing individual particles. For particles in natural assemblages, we used a combination of Mie theory and flow cytometry to determine diameter (D), complex refractive index (n 1 in9), and optical cross-sections at 488 nm. Particles were grouped i...
متن کاملLateral Transport of Lithogenic Particles from the Continental Margin of the Southern East China Sea
Geochemical compositions and fluxes of suspended and trapped (settling) particulate matter were studied to elucidate particle sources and transports from the continental margin of southern East China Sea (ECS) to the Okinawa Trough. Experimental results indicate that the abundance of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and lithogenic elements (Al, Fe and Mn) decreases with an increase of distanc...
متن کاملModeling Sedimentary Deposits on the Continental Margin
A first objective is to investigate the fabric (pattern) of seabed stratification on continental margins at small time and space scales (1 cm-50 cm depth into the seabed; 1 hr-3 yrs sedimentary record). To this end, we are testing the hypothesis that on muddy shelves such as the northern California shelf, Holocene event stratigraphy consists of the deposits of high-concentration storm regimes a...
متن کاملTectonic inheritance at a continental margin
GSA Today: v. 16, no. 2, doi: 10.1130/1052-5173(2006)016<4:TIAACM>2.0.CO;2 INTRODUCTION Forty years ago, the eastern margin of North America inspired Tuzo Wilson (1966) to ask, “Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?” The Wilson cycle of closing and opening of ocean basins incorporates the cyclic assembly and breakup of supercontinents. Alternate processes of extension and compression of cont...
متن کاملRationally designed porous polystyrene encapsulated zirconium phosphate nanocomposite for highly efficient fluoride uptake in waters
Fluoride pollution in waters has engulfed worldwide regions and an excess of fluoride intake always causes skeletal fluorosis. Herein, a novel hybrid nanomaterial ZrP-MPN was fabricated for fluoride retention by encapsulating nano-ZrP onto macroporous polystyrene materials modified with quaternary ammonium groups. The as-obtained materials exhibited favorable removal of fluoride ions from aqueo...
