Summary of Field Work: |
We are studying the sedimentary sources of mercury that accumulate in the
marine food chain, especially in fish.
We will be sampling the sediments using coring devices at sixteen stations on
the shelf and slope. The depths will range from 100m to 3000m. Water will be
collected at various depths (i.e., profiles) for trace metal studies at each
coring station. Standard oceanographic data will also be gathered at each
sampling location. |
