Fluxes of dissolved organic carbon from California continental margin sediments
Fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from marine sediments represent a poorly constrained component of the oceanic carbon cycle that may affect the concentration and composition of DOC in the ocean. Here we report the first in situ measurements of DOC fluxes from continental margin sediments (water depths ranging from 95 to 3,700 m), and compare these fluxes with measured benthic fluxes fro...
متن کاملEarly Miocene Antarctic glacial history: New insights from heavy mineral analysis from ANDRILL AND–2A drill core sediments
The present study deals with heavy mineral analysis of late Early Miocene marine sediments recovered in the McMurdo Sound region (Ross Sea, Antarctica) during the ANDRILL— SMS Project in 2007. The main objective is to investigate how heavy mineral assemblages reflect different source rocks and hence different provenance areas. These data contribute to a better understanding of East Antarctica i...
متن کاملCross–Shelf Exchange Along the Antarctic Continental Margin: Modeling Results
The shelf areas around the Antarctic Continent are locations of dense water formation; part of these water masses ventilate the adjacent deep ocean basins and enter the global thermohaline circulation. This paper takes a look at regional differences of shelf sea–deep ocean exchange in high southern latitudes (mainly between the Weddell and Ross Seas), highlights a few physical mechanisms potent...
متن کاملA Comparison of “identical” Antarctic Micrometeorites from Glacial Ice & Aeolian Sediments
Introduction: Micrometeorites exhibit a broad range of compositions, textures and mineralogy that may be the result of a larger range of sampled extraterrestrial sources. However, the selection effects due to collection methods compound this wide variation. Micrometeorites and cosmic spherules are collected mainly from Antarctica by either melting large volumes of glacial ice [1,2], or collecti...
متن کاملNumerical solution methods for glacial rebound models
We consider the finite element discretization of the system of partial differential equations describing the stress field and the displacements in a (visco)elastic inhomogeneous layered media in response to a surface load. The underlying physical phenomenon, which is modelled, is glacial advance and recession, and the resulting crustal stress state. We analyse the elastic case in more detail an...
