The discovery of turbidites represents perhaps the major genuine advance of sedimentology
during the twentieth century. Turbidites are the deposits of turbidity currents and were …

Organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems is either produced internally (autochthonous OM) or
delivered from the terrestrial environment (ter-OM). For eutrophication (or the reverse …

First-order relationships between organic matter content and mineral surface area have
been widely reported and are implicated in stabilization and long-term preservation of …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in southern Chile are a serious threat to public health, tourism,
artisanal fisheries, and aquaculture in this region. Ichthyotoxic HAB species have recently …

The mineralogy, geochemistry, and radiocarbon ages of two sediment cores (GMX1 and
GMX2) collected from the deep sea area of the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico (∼ 876–1752 …

Abstract Texture, mineralogy, geochemistry, and 14 C ages of two deep-sea sediment cores
(GM6 and GM7) recovered in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico were investigated to infer their …

The terminal lobe complex of the Congo River submarine fan sits on the abyssal Atlantic
plain, at 5000 m water depth, 760 km offshore from the river mouth estuarine area. While …

Oceanic islands in the western Pacific export∼ 35% of particulate organic carbon (OC) to
the world ocean, but composition and age of OC varies dramatically among and within the …

Clay-mineralogy study of Taiwanese river-mouth sediments, recent deep-water seafloor
sediments around Taiwan, along with sediments collected from the Tainan shelf edge, have …

The burial of organic carbon (OC) in marine sediments regulates CO2 content in the
atmosphere. However, the OC sources and their effect on the OC preservation in sediments …
