Biogeochemical, Isotopic and Bacterial Distributions Trace Oceanic Abyssal Circulation
We explore the possibility of tracing routes of dense waters toward and within the ocean abyss by the use of an extended set of observed physical and biochemical parameters. To this purpose, we employ mercury, isotopic oxygen, biopolymeric carbon and its constituents, together with indicators of microbial activity and bacterial diversity found in bottom waters of the Eastern Mediterranean. In t...
متن کاملOceanic minerals: their origin, nature of their environment, and significance.
The chemical and isotopic compositions of oceanic biogenic and authigenic minerals contain invaluable information on the evolution of seawater, hence on the history of interaction between tectonics, climate, ocean circulation, and the evolution of life. Important advances and greater understanding of (a) key minor and trace element cycles with various residence times, (b) isotopic sources and s...

LLE Review, Volume 105 26 Introduction In inertial fusion experiments, it is energetically advantageous to form the fuel into a solid shell before compression.1 Current cryogenic target experiments on OMEGA are being performed with pure deuterium (D2) as the fuel. 2 Future cryogenic target experiments will be performed with an equimolar solid mixture of deuterium and tritium (D-T). An equilibri...
متن کاملPrecipitation of barite by Myxococcus xanthus: possible implications for the biogeochemical cycle of barium.
Bacterial precipitation of barite (BaSO(4)) under laboratory conditions is reported for the first time. The bacterium Myxococcus xanthus was cultivated in a solid medium with a diluted solution of barium chloride. Crystallization occurred as a result of the presence of live bacteria and the bacterial metabolic activity. A phosphorous-rich amorphous phase preceded the more crystalline barite for...
متن کاملIsotopic Analyses of Barium in Meteorites and in Terrestrial Samples
Isotopic compos•tien and concentration of barium in six stone meteorites and the silicate inclusions of two iron meteorites and three terrestrial samples were measured by use of a 'double spike' isotopic dilution technique in order to correct for laboratory fractionation. Any differences between the abundances of the isotopes in meteoritic and terrestrial Ba were found to be less than 0.1% for ...
