Description:

Surface Holocene sediment samples from middle Delaware Bay and cored Holocene samples from lower Delaware Bay have been studied in a preliminary way for general sediment characteristics, pH, Eh, organic carbon, hydrogen, carbohydrates, amino acids, hydrocarbons, chlorophyll-derived pigments, carotenoid pigments, and humic acids. Samples from a core near Wilmington Canyon on the continental slope off Delaware Bay were analyzed for organic carbon, hydrogen, and total carbohydrates.

Description:

The combined effects of anthropogenic and biological CO2 inputs may lead to more rapid acidification in coastal waters compared to the open ocean. It is less clear, however, how redox reactions would contribute to acidification. Here we report estuar...
