Abstract:
Particle size is a fundamental property of any sediment, which can provide important information about its nature and provenance. The particle size distribution requires precise determination using a rapid and reliable method with a high resolution. Grain size is the essential factor influencing the heavy metal contents in sediment and is the most fundamental property of sediment particles, affecting their entrainment, transport and deposition. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the effect of particle size on heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Fe, Pb and As) distributions in sediments. Depen

Abstract:
The shear wave speed is often small compared to the compressional wave speed in unconsolidated marine sediments. Sediment stratification and especially mass density variation in the seabed enhance the effects of weak shear on acoustic normal modes in range-independent ocean and produce significant shear wave contributions to mode attenuation in shallow water [O. A. Godin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 149, 3586–3598 (2021)]. A distinctive feature of the shear-induced perturbations in the mode phase speed and attenuation is their rapid variation with sound frequency due to shear wave interference within

Abstract:
An algorithm has been developed to simulate sediment dispersal on shallow marine siliciclastic, carbonate, and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate shelves. The algorithm is based on a diffusion scheme in which the diffusion coefficient decays exponentially with water depth. The rationale for using a varying diffusion coefficient lies in the observation that on marine shelves wave energy and therefore bed shear stress decay exponentially with water depth. Thus sediment flux cannot be modeled by a diffusive process based on a linear dependence on slope alone. This approach is probably most appropriate

Abstract. Seawater–sediment interaction is a crucial factor in carbon and nutrient cycling on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This interaction is mediated not just through geochemistry but also via biology. Infauna vigorously mix sediment particles, enhance porewater–seawater exchange, and consequently, facilitate chemical reactions. In turn, the ecology and activity of benthic fauna are impacted by their environment, amplifying the sensitivity of seawater–sediment interaction to environmental change.

Abstract:
Abstract. The sinking of particulate organic carbon (POC) is a key component of the ocean carbon cycle and plays an important role in the global climate system. However, the processes controlling the fraction of primary production that is exported from the euphotic zone (export ratio) and how much of it survives respiration in the mesopelagic to be sequestered in the deep ocean (transfer efficiency) are not well understood. In this study, we use a three-dimensional, coupled physical-biogeochemical model (CCSM-BEC) to investigate the processes controlling the export of particulate organic matte

Abstract:
Abstract. The entrainment and suspension of sand and gravel are important for the evolution of rivers, deltas, coastal areas, and submarine fans. The prediction of a vertical profile of suspended sediment concentration typically consists of assessing (1) the concentration near the bed using an entrainment relation and (2) the upward vertical distribution of sediment in the water column. Considerable uncertainty exists in regard to both of these steps, especially the near-bed concentration. Most entrainment relations have been tested against limited grain-size-specific data, and no relations ha

SUMMARY Receiver functions are sensitive to sharp seismic velocity variations with depth and are commonly used to constrain crustal thickness. The H–κ stacking method of Zhu &amp; Kanamori is often used to constrain both the crustal thickness (H) and ${V_P}$/${V_S}$ ratio ($\kappa $) beneath a seismic station using P-to-s converted waves (Ps). However, traditional H–κ stacks require an assumption of average crustal velocity (usually ${V_P}$). Additionally, large amplitude reverberations from low velocity shallow layers, such as sedimentary basins, can overprint sought-after crustal signals, re

Continuous Wavelet Transformation (CWT) was applied to study the small-scale repetitive oscillations of porosity distribution patterns in a 5 m silty-claystone core sample of the Boda Claystone Formation. We handled the fluctuations in voxel porosity averages over unequal depth distributions as signals over uneven time intervals. The strength of wavelet analysis lies in the ability to study the fluctuation of a signal in detail, i.e., the wavelet transforms permit automatic localization of the cyclic attributes' sequences both in time (the depth domain) and according to their frequency (the fr

The CrPINN uses very few measured data to correct replicas generated by acoustic propagation model to mitigate mismatches.
