Hydrocarbons in surface waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
Results of investigation of various forms of oil pollution, i.e. oil films, tar, and hydrocarbons in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and North Indian Ocean during October-December... -
Phytoplankton in the Nhatrang Bay, South China Sea
Species composition, phytoplankton abundance, and relative yield of variable fluorescence (F_v/F_m) were determined in the mesotrophic Nhatrang Bay in October-November 2004.... -
Abundance and biomass of benthic foraminifera in bottom sediments from the Se...
A study of distribution of live individuals of benthic foraminifera in sediments of the Sea of Okhotsk and of the Northwestern Basin of the Pacific Ocean shows that they can be... -
Age and sedimentation rates of bottom sediments from the Baltic Sea
An automated system is described for collecting and processing information from radiometric devices used in determination of isotopic age and sedimentation rate by radiocarbon... -
Distribution of species of planktic foraminifera in bottom sediments of the M...
Two lithological-stratigraphic intervals have been distinguished in the Morocco basin by a study of lithologic composition of bottom sediments as well as of planktic and bottom... -
Mercury concentrations in waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea
Total mercury concentration in waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea measured in January-April 1982 varied from 0.007 to 0.192 µg/l. Particulate form was 1.6-16% of... -
Radiocarbon dating of bottom sediments from the Baltic Sea
Results of radiocarbon dating of bottom sediments from the Baltic Sea are presented for four areas investigated during Cruises 16 and 26A of R/V Akademik Kurchatov. The dating... -
Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides in water and the surface microlay...
Results of four year (1977-1980) observations on concentrations of organochlorine pesticides in waters of the North Atlantic (between 10°N and 60°N) are presented. Gas-liquid... -
Migration forms of hydrocarbons in waters and bottom sediments of the Gulf of...
It is found that hydrocarbons are constantly accumulated on the main geochemical barriers: water-atmosphere, river-sea, water-suspended matter, and water-bottom sediment... -
Production of Zooxanthellae in the tropical Atlantic Ocean
The radiocarbon method was used to measure primary production of Zooxanthellae of five colonial radiolaria and two pelagic foraminifera from the tropical Atlantic Ocean; in... -
Chemical composition of Fe-Mn nodules and bottom sediments collected in the N...
Ferromanganese nodules found in regions of hilly relief of the ocean bottom are associated with facies of high carbonate or non-carbonate deep-sea sediments characterized by... -
Lipids in ocean particulate matter and bottom sediments
Lipid contents both in particulate matter and bottom sediments decreases with passage from the shelf toward the open ocean. Lipid concentration in particulate matter collected... -
Composition of Fe-Mn nodules and crusts from the Cape Basin
Facies zonation of the Cape basin with respect to Fe-Mn nodules based on data from Cruise 43 of R/V Akademik Kurchatov and published data is presented. Three facies regions are... -
Biogeochemical parameters of sea water and bottom sediments near the Curieuse...
Biogeochemical reef studies carried out in 1981 and 1984 found low concentration of total natural and anthropogenic hydrocarbons in inshore waters. Detection of lignin in marine... -
Mineral composition of 0.1-0.05 mm grain size fraction from the surface layer...
Rock material sampled from the Mir manned deep-sea submersibles and by dradges, grabs, and sediment cores over a vast area of the North Atlantic was analyzed to show that this... -
Rare earth elements in bottom sediments from the deeps of the Red Sea rift zone
Analysis of rare earth element (REE) distribution and behavior in ore-bearing hydrothermal-sedimentary deposits from the Red Sea is carried out. Geochemical patterns and... -
Dissolved forms of chemical elements in near-bottom waters and interstitial w...
A bottom station (lander) was installed onto the bottom at station 6214 during Cruise 86 of R/V Professor Shtokman. Resulting from this installation, all the systems of the... -
Composition of bottom sediments and interstitial waters from the Gdansk Bay
Contents of mercury and zinc in reduced sediments and interstitial waters of the Gdansk Bay in the Baltic Sea were investigated. It was found that sediments contain 0.7 ppm Hg,... -
Geochemical parameters of sediments and waters in areas of ocean barrier zones
Geochemical barrier zones play an important role in determining various physical systems and characteristics of oceans, e.g. hydrodynamics, salinity, temperature and light. In... -
Chemical composition of interstitial waters from sediments of brine-bearing d...
Data on concentrations of the major ions (Cl, SO4, Alk, Na, K, Ca, Mg, NH4) in interstitial waters from sediments of three brine-bearing deeps of the Red Sea rift zone are...
