Multibeam bathymetric and sediment profiler evidence for ice grounding on the Chukchi Borderland, Arctic Ocean

Multibeam bathymetry and 3.5-kHz sub-bottom profiler data collected from the US icebreaker Healy in 2003 provide convincing evidence for grounded ice on the Chukchi Borderland off the northern Alaskan margin, Arctic Ocean. The data show parallel, glacially induced seafloor scours, or grooves, and intervening ridges that reach widths of 1000 m (rim to rim) and as much as 40 m relief. Following previous authors, we refer to these features as “megascale glacial lineations (MSGLs).” Additional support for ice grounding is apparent from stratigraphic unconformities, interpreted to have been caused by ice-induced erosion. Most likely, the observed sea-floor features represent evidence for massive ice-shelf grounding. The general ESE/WNW direction of the MSGLs, together with sediment, evidently bulldozed off the Chukchi Plateau, that is mapped on the western (Siberian) side of the plateau, suggests ice flow from the Canada Basin side of Chukchi Borderland. Two separate generations of glacially derived MSGLs are identified on the Chukchi Borderland from the Healy geophysical data. The deepest and oldest extensive MSGLs appear to be draped by sediments less than 5 m thick, whereas no sediment drape can be distinguished within the resolution of the sub-bottom profiles on the younger generation.     

Voltammetric evidence for soluble FeS complexes in anoxic estuarine muds

Voltammetric methods using direct insertion of a gold-amalgam microelectrode with a sensitive, computercontrolled voltammeter detected soluble iron(II) sulfide, [FeS]_aq, in the porewaters of anoxic, sulfidic, fine-grained sediments from the Loughor Estuary, Wales. The voltammetric results are reproducible. Studies of cores stored in sealed, refrigerated containers for up to 21 d reveal no measurable oxidation. [FeS]_aq forms in this estuarine environment as a result of the dissolution of amorphous FeS, and appears to be involved in the formation of pyrite. [FeS]_aq makes no significant contribution to the total sulfide and iron contents of the sediment but could constitute an important component of the dissolved Fe(II) and S(−II) contents of the porewater. Mass balance calculations show pyrite forms in this system by the addition of sulfur to FeS rather than by the loss of iron from FeS. The overall process appears to involve [FeS]_aq as an intermediary. Although the porewaters of the Loughor Estuary sediments are iron-rich relative to seawater, the iron sulfide-forming process is iron-limited rather than sulfide-limited. Reactive iron is bound to sulfide rapidly in the sediment. After the reactive iron is bound to sulfide, additional sulfide produced is fixed as pyrite.

Biomechanical conflicts between adaptations for diving and aerial flight in estuarine birds

Diving and aerial flight place conflicting physiological constraints on diving birds depending on their typical dive depths. The amount by which air volumes in the respiratory system and plumage are reduced by hydrostatic pressure decreases rapidly with depth. Thus, birds diving shallowly, and ascending passively by means of positive buoyancy, content with greater work against buoyancy as well as more unstable buoyancy as they move vertically in the water column. The buoyancy of air far exceeds that of tissues or blood, whose buoyancy does not change appreciably with depth. Accordingly, experiments on ducks suggest that birds adapt to shallow diving by increasing blood volume and thus blood oxygen stores while decreasing respiratory volume. During dives, increased inertia from greater mass of blood and associated muscle lowers the costs of foraging at the bottom by resisting the upward buoyant force, but raises the costs of descent because of higher inertial work in accelerating the body with each stroke. Thus, average dive depth (compression of buoyant air spaces), stroke kinematics (inertial effects), and the relative time spent descending versus bottom foraging will determine the appropriate balance between buoyancy and inertia for diving. Greater blood volume also increases wing loading, so elements of dive costs must be balanced against flight costs in optimizing allocation of oxygen stores to blood versus the respiratory system. For example, biomechanical models for ducks suggest that increasing blood volume while decreasing respiratory volume lowers dive costs only for dives to depths <5 m or for dives with extended time at constant depth. If flight costs are also considered, these anti-buoyancy mechanisms reduce daily energy expenditure only if average dive depth is <2 m. High wing-loading in many foot-propelled divers is probably not an adaptation to diving but rather a result of modifications in wing size and shape for high flight-speed. These wing modifications appear possible because competing demands on wing morphology (maneuverability, takeoff ability) are relaxed in open aquatic environments.     

A supplemental sampling method for estuarine ichthyoplankton with emphasis on the atherinidae

A three-stage sampler, filtering water from the 0–5 cm, 5–25 cm, and 25–45 cm microhorizons was tested during conventional ichthyoplankton studies. The sampler was as much as 240X more efficient than 0.5 m nets in the collection of larval atherinids. The atherinids were found most abundantly in the 0–5 cm microhorizon, probably due to a positive phototaxic response.     

An estuarine benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) for Chesapeake Bay

A multimetric benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) was developed using data from five Chesapeake Bay sampling programs conducted between 1972 and 1991. Attributes of the index were selected by comparing the response of 17 candidate measures of benthic condition (metrics) between a set of minimally affected reference sites and at all other sites for which data were available. This procedure was conducted independently for each of seven habitats defined by salinity and substrate. Fifteen of the 17 candidate metrics differed significantly between reference sites and other sites for at least one habitat. No metric differed significantly in all seven habitats; however, four metrics, species diversity, abundance, biomass, and percent of abundance as pollution-indicative taxa, differed in six habitats. The index was calculated by scoring each selected metric as 5, 3, or 1 depending on whether its value at a site approximated, deviated slightly from, or deviated greatly from conditions at the best reference sites. Validation based on independent data collected between 1992 and 1994 indicated that the index correctly distinguished stressed sites from reference sites 93% of the time, with the highest validation rates occurring in high salinity habitats.     

Reconstruction of long-term time series for commercial fisheries abundance and estuarine pollution loadings

Time series from 1880–1980 for the commercial landings of 35 species and associated fishing effort were reconstructed for the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, Potomac River, Delaware River, Connecticut River and Narragansett Bay. Time series for the same period were developed for indices representing pollutant loadings, developmental activities and habitat alterations for the five target river basins. These indices included representations of demography, sewage and industrial loadings, habitat factors, and nutrient, carbon, and sediment inputs. These data were the result of intensive data collection effort using county, state, and federal records to ascertain activities along individual water basins through time. Direct measures of loadings were used when available, and indirect indicators of loadings were implemented where appropriate. Missing data points from climatic and pollution time series were estimated by statistical modeling, interpolation, and assumption. A probabilistic method was developed to estimate relative stock abundance for each target species-estuary combination using estuarine-specific landings, regional landings, regional catch-by-gear, and regional effort.     

Changes in metabolic rates under fluctuating salinity regimes for two subtidal estuarine habitats

The metabolic rate of individual habitats can differ significantly in their contribution to the total system productivity of estuaries. Changing environmental conditions such as those created by tidal exchange can frequently alter these rates. In an effort to quantify these rate responses, metabolic rates were measured for macroalgal and sediment habitats at different salinities. Microcosms representing the two habitats were incubated at three salinity ranges (high: 25 to 31‰; moderate: 12 to 18‰; and low: 0 to 4‰) and production and respiration rates were estimated. The production rates for both habitats were proportional to the salinity of the water in the incubation, with the lowest metabolic rates associated with the lowest salinity. Average macroalgal habitat net production rates were 879 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, 609 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, and 451 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1 at high, moderate, and low salinity treatments, respectively, and the dark respiration rates were ?401 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, ?341 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, and ?333 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1. Average sediment habitat net production rates were 60 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, 13 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1 and 10 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1 and the respiration rates were ?114 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, ?55 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1, and ?31 mg O₂ m^?2 h^?1 at high, moderate, and low salinity treatments. The larger contribution of macroalgal habitats to system metabolism may account for observed diurnal changes in water column oxygen levels in some estuaries. Macroalgal production rates explained 83% of the increase in water column oxygen levels during daylight hours and macroalgal respiration rates explained 65% of the decline in oxygen levels during the night. The contribution of macroalgal metabolism to the system can be influenced by even short-term changes in water column salinity. Environmental processes that alter salinity levels on hourly time scales may moderate the effect of macroalgal metabolism on oxygen levels.     

The suitability of routine weather data for estimating local estuarine heat energy fluxes

Meteorological data and water temperatures from a 98-day period during the summer of 1980 are used to examine the suitability of routine weather observations for quantifying the heat energy budget of a shallow lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida. Hourly cloud-cover observations are used to calculate incoming solar radiation, and results are compared with pyranometer readings. The standard error of the estimate is 26% of the mean daily accumulation for simulations of one day, but this decreases to only 0.3% of the total accumulation for simulations of 21 days. Wind speeds recorded at a weather station 4 km from the study site must be modified by a site-specific wind ratio before they can be used to calculate latent and sensible heat fluxes. Even with site-specific corrections to routine weather data, the standard deviation of simulated temperatures is 2 to 3 times that of observed temperatures. Cloud cover and wind speed are the two variables most difficult to incorporate into the simulations.     

Analytical solutions for consolidation aided by vertical drains

Soil disturbance caused during the installation of vertical drains reduces the in situ hydraulic conductivity of soft deposits in the immediate vicinity of the drains, resulting in a slower rate of consolidation than would be expected in the absence of disturbance. Experimental investigations have revealed the existence of two distinct zones, a smear zone and a transition zone, within the disturbed zone around the vertical drain. The degree of change in the hydraulic conductivity in the smear and transition zones is difficult to assess without performing of laboratory tests. Based on the available literature, four different profiles of hydraulic conductivity versus distance from the vertical drain were identified. Closed-form solutions for the rate of consolidation for each of these four hydraulic conductivity profiles were developed. It is found that different variations of the hydraulic conductivity profiles in the disturbed zone result in different rates of consolidation.

A multi-method approach for the study of lanthanum speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments

Two independent analytical methods (sequential extraction and kinetic extraction methods) were applied in order to understand the distribution and speciation of La in the coastal and estuarine sediments from the central east coast of India. Sequential extraction study revealed that La was primarily present as inert complexes (~ 50–60% of the total La) in all the sediments. Amounts of ~ 20–30% of the total La in all the sediments were found to associate with the total organic carbon (TOC) in the sediments. The dissociation rate constants of La–sediment complexes obtained from kinetic extraction studies revealed that the concentration of thermodynamically weak complexes of La gradually increased with the increasing La/TOC ratio in the sediments.

Traveling screens as sampling gear for vertical distribution studies

A sampling technique has been developed for increasing the information gathered during routine monitoring of impingement at water intake structures. Samples from impingement catches on traveling screens were taken from the sluiceway of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant near Southport, North Carolina during the screen wash process so as to divide the catch into vertical catch components. Each component represented 1.2 m of the water column. Results showed differences in day and night vertical distributions of impinged organisms according to the spatial preferences of each species. Impingement during daytime was lower than during night. Impingement of surface-oriented species during daytime occurred at mid-depth, midwater species near the bottom, and bottom species were seldom impinged. During the night surface-oriented species were impinged at the surface, midwater species at mid-depth, and bottom species near the bottom. Residue (animals and debris) which remained within the screen wash system from collection of the previous sample, and those organisms which became impinged on the screens during retrieval of the sample, were used to calculate the rate of “continuous impingement” on the traveling screens. These rates were compared to the impingement catch in order to determine biases in the vertical catch components. Comparison of these rates indicated that impingement estimates determined by routine monitoring methods may under-estimate true impingement rates for certain species. We have concluded that this sampling technique for monitoring impingement at intake structures will increase knowledge of the local biologic system while minimizing the cost of obtaining the information. The technique will also aid in pinpointing specific impingement problems which may be corrected through modifications to the design of the intake structure.
