Quantitative Chemical Mass Transfer in Coastal Sediments During Early Diagenesis: Effects of Biological Transport, Mineralogy, and Fabric
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term goal of this study is to develop a better mechanistic and quantitative understanding of the effects of biologically-enhanced transport, mineralogy, sediment fabric, and particle surface chemistry on biogeochemical reactions occurring in coastal sediments. Specifically, we plan to provide quantitative expressions of biogeochemical processes from field and laboratory studies and to develop a numerical model of early diagenesis which explicitly accounts for the complex interactions between the structural, mineralogical and biological components of coastal marine sediments

Quantitative Mass Transfer in Coastal Sediments During Early Diagenesis: Effects of Biological Transport, Mineralogy, and Fabric
The long-term goal of this project is to develop multicomponent reactive transport models that can be used to accurately describe solute transport in temporally and spatially heterogeneous, organic-rich sediments. To achieve this goal, we have developed a model that can be used to obtain unbiased 1D quantitative descriptions of biologically-enhanced solute transport (bioirrigation due to macrof...
متن کاملMineralogy and Geochemistry of Sand Dunes of the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea
Babolsar eastern coastal dunes have been developed along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. The studied area is coordinated in N36°43' to N36°44' latitude and E52°44' to E52°52' longitude. The objectives of this research were to: Study mineralogy and geochemistry of sand dunes, to obtain chemical alteration index (CIA) and its relationship to climate and mineralogy, to de...
متن کاملA systematic and meta-analysis review of heavy metals pollution, toxicity potential, ecological and biological risk in surface sediments of Mahshahr and Imam Khomeini port estuaries (Coastal areas of Khuzestan province)
Coastal areas including the estuaries of Persian Gulf are sensitive and fragile areas of aquatic ecosystems in Iran that are severely affected by pollution from urbanization, industrialization, and maritime activity. Despite numerous studies on the status of pollution, especially heavy metals in these areas, comprehensive and systematic studies on this subject have not been conducted. Therefore...
متن کاملImpact of polychaetes (Nereis spp. and Arenicola marina) on carbon biogeochemistry in coastal marine sediments†
Known effects of bioturbation by common polychaetes (Nereis spp. and Arenicola marina) in Northern European coastal waters on sediment carbon diagenesis is summarized and assessed. The physical impact of irrigation and reworking activity of the involved polychaete species is evaluated and related to their basic biology. Based on past and present experimental work, it is concluded that effects o...
متن کاملSedimentology, mineralogy and sedimentary geochemistry of the Late Quaternary sedimentary sequence of Gavkhoni Playa by looking at the paleoclimate
The sediments of the Playa Lake are sensitive indicators of local climates that any change in climate, hydrology, and sedimentary environment will cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the sediments. These sediments create a valuable and important archive with high resolution to examine these changes in the past. One method of studying climate change during quaternary and oft...
