The capital region of Finland is growing rapidly and into areas with challenging con­struction conditions such as deep fine-grained sediments. In the coastal city Espoo, present land use mainly focused in southern central parts, which were submerged by Baltic Sea during early mid-Holocene. These have experienced saline brackish water phases history Basin. deposition environments presently studi...

Large variations in the boron isotopic composition of sedimentary environments make boron an attractive monitor of fluidrrock interactions during diagenesis. Studies of B in marine sediments have shown that preferential adsorption of B on clay minerals leaves pore waters enriched in B. During diagenesis, clay minerals recrystallize and incorporate B into Ž the mineral structure Spivack, A.J., P...

Ocean Drilling Program Leg 201 was the first ocean drilling expedition dedicated to the study of life deep beneath the seafloor. Its seven sites were selected to represent the general range of subsurface environments that exist in marine sediments throughout most of the world’s oceans. In water depths as great as 5300 m and as shallow as 150 m, the expedition drilled as deep as 420 m into ocean...

Detrital zircon studies are providing new insights on the evolution of sedimentary basins but the role of sedimentary recycling remains largely undefined. In a broad region of northwestern North America, this contribution traces the pathway of detrital zircon sand grains from Proterozoic sandstones through Phanerozoic strata and argues for multi-stage sedimentary recycling over more than a bill...
