The results of particle size measurements in several estuaries with a Coulter counter, by pipette
analysis and with a Plankton camera that gives the in situ size are discussed. The in situ …

During two cruises, in November 1976 and May 1978, the suspended matter distribution in
the Zaire estuary, on the shelf and in the adjacent ocean was studied. The concentrations …

A three-layer stratification was found in the Boca Grande estuary: a layer of fluid mud near
the bottom, a layer of low salinity and low turbidity at the surface, and a saltwedge of high …

Flocculation and de-flocculation have been observed in estuaries and the processes involved
are discussed. Salt flocculation plays a minor role, if any. Flocs are mainly formed by a …

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended
matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution…

Suspended matter in the North Sea is supplied from the northern Atlantic Ocean, the Channel,
the Baltic, rivers, coastal erosion, seafloor erosion, primary production and the atmosphere…

The dispersal of Amazon mud reaches from the mouth of the Amazon river to the Orinoco
delta and to the eastern Caribbean, a distance of more than 1500 km. The present dispersal …

Suspended matter comes into the North Sea from the Atlantic Ocean, from the Channel,
rivers, seafloor erosion, coastal erosion, the atmosphere, and from primary production. The …

Hitherto unknown abundance peaks of left coiling (lc) Neogloboquadrina pachyderma from
a Gulf of Lions piston core indicate that abrupt cold spells associated with Atlantic Heinrich …

An in situ suspension camera in combination with an image-analysis system was developed
at NIOZ to measure the in situ particle size of suspended matter. It differs from other …
