Inasmuch as most of the sedimentary particles are being supplied at present and the dispersal of the surficial sediments reflects the present configuration of distributor processes, the sediments are classified
The native sediments were classified as silty sand (S1), silt (S5–S8), and clayey silt (S2–S4) (Fig. S2a, Supplementary). Coarser sediments were found in the northern Adriatic (S1), the Neretva Channel (S5), and the Albanian coastal area (S8). These environments coincide with areas...
Both columns and detectors are maintained at 30 °C. The ion chromatography system was run as described previously [20] with the following modifications. Anions were resolved by a 2 mm Dionex IonPac AS19 analytical column protected by a 2 mm Dionex IonPac AG19 guard column (Thermo...
Sediments were classified as non-polluted, moderately polluted and heavily polluted, based on SQG of USEPA [59] as shown in Table 11. The toxicity unit values shown in Table 11 indicate that station VI in LMMB near the dis- charge from Qalaa Drain into LMMB and station IQ in Qalaa ...
Seamount viruses are diverse and novel In seven seamount sediment samples, a significant portion of vOTUs were classified as members of theCaudoviricetesclass, constituting ~81% of the total identified vOTUs.Caudoviricetesform a class of tailed dsDNA phages and are usually the most retrieved dsD...
The sediments are generally classified as organic clays of medium to high plasticity, containing micaceous sands and silts, with 14% classed as inorganic clays of medium to high plasticity. High sedimentation rates in Quaternary sediments are the result, in part, of sediment gravity flows that ...
the laboratory. The mechanical properties of the hydrate-bearing sediments were classified with previous obtained results from 53 pressure cores and 223 synthetic cores, and empirical equations for triaxial compressive strength and deformation modulus were proposed as functions of gas hydrate saturation, ef...
The soils in the Yamaguchi Bay Polder, reaching over 50% sand, are also classified as A and B in the triangle diagram, except for those in the bottom horizons in the older reclaimed polder, Yamaguchi-1. Fig. 2 Soil particle distribution using sand, silt, and clay according to Pejrup (...
Sediment quality was classified as: Cf < 1 (low contamination), 1 ≤ Cf < 3 (moderate contamination), 3 ≤ Cf < 6 (considerable contamination) and Cf ≥ 6 (very high contamination) (Abrahim and Parker, 2008; Hakanson, 1980). Single-element pollution indices do not consider the complex...
Gas hydrate-bearing natural sediments are generally classified as sand, clay, silt, and combinations of these components, including silty sand, sandy silt, clayey silt, silty clay, sandy clay, clayey sand, and sand-silt-clay. For example, silty sand gas hydrate-bearing sediments are dominated ...
