    Extractions: Sedimentary Environments of Long Island Sound Richard P. Signell , Harley J. Knebel, Jeffrey H. List and Amy S. Farris Woods Hole Field Center U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole, MA, 01543-1598. Tel: (508)-548-8700 E-mail: rsignell@usgs.gov jlist@usgs.gov hknebel@usgs.gov afarris@usgs.gov Abstract Introduction Long Island Sound is a major east-coast estuary located adjacent to the most densely populated region of the United States. Because of the enormous surrounding population, the Sound has received anthropogenic wastes and contaminants from various sources (Wolfe et al., 1991). As part of its National Coastal and Marine Geology Program , the U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a regional study program designed to understand the processes that distribute sediments and related contaminants in the Sound. Knowledge of the bottom-current regime is crucial both in understanding the distribution of bottom sedimentary environments in the Sound and in predicting the long-term fate of wastes and contaminants which have been introduced there. There have been numerous observational, theoretical and modeling studies concerning the currents in Long Island Sound. Many of the observational and theoretical studies pertaining to the interaction of bottom currents with the sea floor characteristics are summarized in a series of review papers by Gordon and Bokuniewicz (Gordon, 1980; Bokuniewicz and Gordon, 1980a; Bokuniewicz and Gordon, 1980b; Bokuniewicz, 1980). In these papers, they determine that the character of the seabed is controlled primarily by tidal currents, with a lesser role played by estuarine circulation and storms. Previous modeling studies have explored the M

    Extractions: Climate System ... Ozone and Climate Change PhyBio Polar Meteorology Sea Ice The environment of the marine biota is shaped by physical processes. These regulate ambient temperature and salinity, the availability of nutrients and light, and the displacement and transport of organisms. Vice versa, the marine biosphere influences the physical realm of the Earth's climate system by virtue of biologically mediated geochemical fluxes. Through primary production accomplished by planktonic algae in the sun-lit upper ocean layer carbon dioxid, for instance, is taken up and withdrawn from the atmosphere. Part of this carbon is eventually transported to the deep ocean and sediment when biogenic matter precipitates. Primary production also fuels growth at the highest trophic levels, represented by fish, birds and mammals. Physical processes act and influence the marine biota on a wealth of length and time scales, ranging from the scales of molecular diffusion to the scales of the global ocean circulation. The impact of only a few of these processes on the marine biota is however fully understood. PhyBio's work is hypothesis-driven and aimed at a better description of already known processes of influence as well as at the identification of yet unknown processes and possible feedback mechanisms. Recent research foci are: Exchange Processes between the Ocean Surface Mixed Layer and Pycnocline

    http://marine.usgs.gov/fact-sheets/FLAwetlands/
    
    Extractions: Marine and Coastal Geology Program "Over 20 percent of the estuarine wetlands in the lower 48 States are located in Florida. The northwest Florida coast alone has 120,000 acres of nearly-undisturbed coastal wetlands. This area is experiencing rapid population growth, however, as people seek the benefits of living near the coast. We do not know the current state of these wetlands, nor do we yet understand the geological processes that will cause them to change." Coastal wetlands provide important functions for human activities. Wetlands filter water to remove nutrients, contaminants, and sediment, thereby improving coastal water quality. They support fisheries, including shrimp, oysters, and blue crabs. They also supply an abundant quantity of food and a protected nursery habitat required by many species of fish. The ability of marshes to trap silt helps to maintain coastal water clarity for the benefit of seagrasses. In turn, these seagrasses help dampen waves, thereby stabilizing the wetland. Wetlands also provide protection for inland houses from coastal storms by acting as a buffer against flooding. Florida's northwestern coast has a high frequency of hurricanes (14 in the past 100 years). Some have produced storm surges of up to 6 feet, making flooding a serious problem. A variety of factors, both natural and manmade, can place stress on the wetlands.

    Extractions: GEOTOP history The centre for research in Geochemistry and Geodynamics GEOTOP was created by geo-scientists from the Earth Science department at UQÀM . It obtained its first FCAR grant in 1974, shortly after its creation. Since then, GEOTOP has substantially grown and has become a reputable centre for geosciences in Canada and throughout the world. With funding from NSERC , the UQÀM Foundation and FCI , it has acquired several mass spectrometers and other highly specialized laboratory instruments and has become the top geochemical laboratory in the country. In 2000, GEOTOP has become an Inter-University Research Centre which includes as many researchers from McGill University as from UQÀM. GEOTOP is presently funded under the FCAR Research Center Grant Program. Its current membership of eighteen includes researchers from several departments of UQÀM and McGill universities. Individual and team research grants are provided by NSERC and FCAR. The common research theme at GEOTOP is the dynamics of Earth systems and includes investigations of biological, chemical, geological, and physical processes occurring in terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems.

    Extractions: Studies J. Dorale C. Kelley T. Lyons K. MacLeod ... C. Wicks The role of the geological sciences in our society has undergone important changes in recent years, resulting in a shift to basic research in areas that will result in a better understanding of natural hazards, natural resource management, and the environmental impact of both natural processes and human activities. The subdisciplines that are most critical in evaluating the nation's strategic problems are those that pertain to near-surface processes. Links between geology and the biosphere are especially important. Active areas of research which are pursued by our faculty include: Environmental Geochemistry Kelley Lyons Wicks Many research projects directly or indirectly relate to hydrogeology and environmental geochemistry. The ability to predict groundwater flow and solute transport through the big spring basins of Missouri is helping us to understand the relationship between the hydrogeologic setting and the occurrence and health of cavefish. The fate of organic chemicals in aqueous environments (ocean, estuary, groundwater, and lake environments) is also studied, with particular emphasis on the carbon cycle. Redox geochemistry, specifically the coupling between the S and Fe cycles, is another area of active research. Oceanography Kelley Lyons MacLeod Underwood Approximately 70 % of the Earth is covered by oceans. The study of the ocean is truly an interdisciplinary science, including the subfields of biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography. Many of our researchers have sailed on oceanographic cruises, including legs of the Ocean Drilling Project and on the Atlantis II, which houses the deep-sea submersible,ALVIN, to study various aspects of oceanographic processes. Studies of processes occurring during the modern day include microbial interactions and carbon processing in the water column and surface sediments, elemental cycling studies of anoxic basins, and sedimentary mineralogy and physical transport near plate boundaries. Information obtained from these modern day studies lead to better understanding of processes and the environmental controls on those processes that occurred in the geologic past.
