Columbia River estuarine turbidity - maxima region
Maintenance of estuarine zooplankton populations in large river-dominated estuaries with short residence times has been an intriguing subject of investigation. During three dierent hydrological seasons, autumn 1990, summer 1991, and spring 1992, we intensively sampled zooplankton populations in the estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM) region of the Columbia River estuary of Oregon and Washington, ...
متن کاملSources of hydrocarbons in sediments of the Mandovi estuary and the Marmugoa harbour, west coast of India.
Surface sediments were collected from various locations of the Mandovi estuary and the Marmugoa harbour. Sediments were analysed for organic carbon (OC), total lipids, n-alkanes concentration and composition. Concentrations of OC, total lipids and n-alkanes varied spatially and ranged from 1 to 2.5%, 176 to 1413 microg/g dry weight (dw) sediments, and 0.8 to 3.2 microg/g dw sediments of the Man...
متن کاملsources, vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments from the mandovi estuary, west coast of india
the mandovi estuary is highly influenced by mining and tourism related activities in the centralwest coast of india. vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons (phcs) in three sedimentcores (d1, c1 and og) from the mandovi estuary were assessed using ultra-violet fluorescence (uvf)spectroscopy. the range of phcs values in estuarine sediments varied from 5.4 to 12.34 μg/g enrichm...
متن کاملGeochemistry of the suspended sediment in the estuaries of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers, central west coast of India.
The geochemistry of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected during the monsoon was determined to identify the sources of SPM and to understand the physicochemical processes in the Mandovi and Zuari river estuaries. The concentrations of SPM decrease seaward in both estuaries, but are relatively high at bay stations. Kaolinite is the most dominant clay mineral in the upstream of both ri...
متن کاملDepositional record of trace metals and degree of contamination in core sediments from the Mandovi estuarine mangrove ecosystem, west coast of India.
The concentrations of seven trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Co, Pb and Zn) in three sediment cores were analysed to assess the depositional trends of metals and their contamination level in the Mandovi estuary, west coast of India. All sediment cores showed enrichment of trace metals in the upper part of core sediments and decrease in concentration with depth, suggesting excess of anthropogenic l...
