A new instrument for sampling flocculent material at the water/sediment interface A new instrument for sampling flocculent material at the water/sediment interface

We have designed an instrument to collect fine-grained and flocculent material from the water/sediment interface for chemical and mineralogical analysis. The sampler can be used from a manned research submersible or by a diver in shallow water. In areas of active deposition, the material collected represents the most recently deposited sediment. This material is of interest for...

Atlantic continental margin of the United States Atlantic continental margin of the United States

The objective of this Decade of North American Geology (D-NAG) volume will be to focus on the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin, including the onshore coastal plain, related onshore Triassic-Jurassic rift grabens, and the offshore basins and platforms. Following multiple compressional tectonic episodes between Africa and North America during the...

The memory of the accreting plate boundary and the continuity of fracture zones The memory of the accreting plate boundary and the continuity of fracture zones

A detailed aeromagnetic anomaly map of the Mesozoic seafloor-spreading lineations southwest of Bermuda reveals the dominant magnetic grain of the oceanic crust and the character of the accreting boundary at the time of crustal formation. The magnetic anomaly pattern is that of a series of elongate lobes perpendicular to the fracture zone (flowline) trends. The linear sets of magnetic...

Hard mineral resources around the U.S continental margin Hard mineral resources around the U.S continental margin

The territorial waters surrounding the United States contain vast quantities of hard mineral resources. Some, such as sand and gravel in the New York Bight, Beaufort Sea, portions of southern California, and submerged lands near Hawaii are relatively well known and characterized by local need and immediate mining potential with available technology. Commoditie of interest to industry and...

Temporal and spatial variations in suspended matter in continental shelf and slope waters off the north-eastern United States Temporal and spatial variations in suspended matter in continental shelf and slope waters off the north-eastern United States

Seston in waters of Georges Bank originates primarily from biological production and from resuspension of bottom sediments. The concentrations of suspended matter observed on the central shoals are more influenced by storms than by seasonal changes. Winter storms produce highest concentrations of non-combustible material throughout the water column, and summer storms appear to increase...
