Journal of Coastal Conservation, Vol. 20, No. 4 (August 2016), pp. 289-297 (9 pages) Bio-diffusion mixing rates (Db) were estimated from depth profiles of excess ²¹⁰Pb and ¹³⁷Cs in three sediment ...

Marine scientist Matthew Costa is used to digging into research—literally. Over the course of his PhD program at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Costa frequently muddied his hands ...

Image 0: Me collecting sediment cores in Netarts Bay, Oregon. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, which spans from British Columbia to Northern California, periodically experiences megathrust earthquakes M ...

Lacustrine turbidites offer a reliable record of seismic activity. A typical sedimentary sequence is produced when a turbidity current moves downslope. If the current generates enough energy, this ...

When an earthquake causes a landslide, debris flow, or erosion, it can change the makeup of nearby lakes by introducing larger sediment particles, causing faster sediment buildup, and affecting carbon ...
