Removal of Wastewater Nitrogen and Phosphorus by an Oligohaline Marsh
… nutrient distributions, plant uptake, and sediment burial were examined as removal mechanisms. This marsh seems to be little affected by, and has a small impact on wastewater. Wastewater flow can raise mean water levels by 3 cm in addition to seasonal changes of 30 cm induced by thermal …

Towards Deep-Sea Toxicology: Experimental Approaches With Echinoderms
… second experimental approach involved sediment burial experiments, simulating<br/>anthropogenic drilling disturbance, with the deep-water echinoderm species Echinus acutus. ROV<br/>technology was used to perform the burial experiments in situ at 114 m depth. The application …

Epifaunal assemblage of a newly established oyster reef with two substrates
… Experimental trays were deployed on top of the sediment along the leeward reef base and sampled quarterly to test the hypothesis that fresh shell is the preferential cultch material of the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, promoting more oyster and epifaunal community development than the …

Sedimentary basin evolution and structural compartmentalization in the northernmost Andes : Eastern Cordillera and Magdalena Valley, Colombia
… an Eocene regional unconformity. The contrasting sedimentary successions above and below the unconformity define a major shift from organic-rich clastic marine deposition of regional extent to more localized coarse-grained fluvial and alluvial fan deposition with significant lateral variations. …

Invertebrate Egg and Plant Seed Banks in Natural, Restored, and Drained Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (USA) and Potential Effects of Sedimentation On Recolonization of Hydrophytes and Aquatic Invertebrates
<p>Sediment is the major pollutant of wetlands, lakes, rivers, and estuaries in the United States and it poses unique threats to wetlands of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR). Sediment may impact the success of wetland restorations because burial of invertebrate and plant propagules may impact …

Sediment incorporation into continental arc systems and paleogeography of the western North American Cordillera: Insights from the North Cascades, Washington
… where new continental crust is formed. Metasedimentary rocks exposed at the deep crustal levels of exhumed arc systems provide evidence for the vertical and horizontal transfer of upper crustal rocks into arcs within convergent-margin settings. These incorporated sediments are proposed to …

THE PACE AND TIMING OF CHANGING LANDSCAPES AS VIEWED THROUGH COSMOGENIC RADIONUCLIDES: SYNTHETIC AND REAL EXAMPLES FROM THE CENTRAL ANDES AND AMAZONIA
… to seek paleo-erosion rates by querying older sedimentary rocks for their 10Be content from the time the sediments were deposited. Analogous to the modern case, in which the cosmogenic nuclide inventory of alluvium reflects erosion rates, the cosmogenic nuclide inventory of quartz in …
