Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationships between Heavy Metal Concentrations in the American Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and Metal Levels in the Water Column and Sediment in Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Larry Robinson, Elijah JohnsonThis study aims to assess baseline concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the oyster soft tissue as they relate to concentrations in the water column (particulate phase) and sediment in Apalachicola Bay. In order to conduct these assessments, a total of 360 samples, collected in two seasons (winter and summer) and were analyzed using atomic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite

It's also supply drinking water to users in the region. Despite the significance of this river, there is a lack of previous studies dealing with petroleum pollution especially for geochemical studies of organic matter in the river sediments using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 29 Jan 2018 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessEvery word in the titleRecovered Gases and Bacteria from the Clostridium Genus as Ecological Condition Indicators of Bottom Sediments of the Eastern Donbass Small RiversRoman Gennad'yevich Trubnik, Yuriy Aleksandrovich Fedorov, Ludmila Anatol'yevna NedosekaThe results of determination of methane, total hydrogen sulfide and sulfite reducing clostridia in bottom sediments of small rivers and reservoirs of the Eastern Donbass are presented. The horizontal and vertical distribution of levels of reduced gases in bottom sediments is analyzed. The ecological condition of the bottom sediments was estimated by the clostridia titer and the methane index. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2017 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSedimentology and Depositional Environment of D2 Sand in Part of Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, Jonathan O. Omoboh, Minapuye I. OdigiThe sedimentology and depositional environment of D2 sand in part of the Greater Ughelli depobelt have been studied using well logs and core data. Three wells were correlated to establish the lateral continuity of the D2 sand across the field and standard gamma ray log trends was used to infer depositional environments. Cored section of well B was described to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2015 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLithofacies and Depositional Environment of Volcano-Sedimentary Deposits of Se Mayo Oulo BasinElie Fosso Menkem, David Sebag, Benjamin Ngounou Ngatcha, Alain DurandThe study of volcano-sedimentary deposits of Mangbai in SE Mayo Oulo basin-Cameroon leads to the identification of five major distinct lithofacies types. From the coarset to the finest lithofacies, there are: Gb-clast supported by massive coble and boulder, Gg-granule to massive gravel, Sm-massive sand, Sh-horizontal layered sandstones, Fml-massive laminated claystones. Coarse facies (Gb, Gg, Sm) are cemented with volcanic matrix … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePyritization of the Coastal Sediments in the Kelantan Plains in the Malay Peninsula during the HoloceneM.S.K. Enio, J. Shamshuddin, C.I. Fauziah, M.H.A. HusniProblem statement: For a number of geological reasons a proportion of the present coastal plains in the Malay Peninsula were inundated by seawater in the past when pyrite in some of the soils is believed to have been mineralized. Random survey of these sites showed a unique distribution and depth of pyritic layer in the soils along the coastal plains. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpecies Assemblages and Distribution of Dinoflagellate Cysts from three Estuaries Sediment’s of Makassar Strait, Eastern IndonesiaNita Rukminasari, Akbar TahirMakassar Strait encompasses high fisheries resources and high biodiversity and primary productivity. Algae blooms often occur in these areas, but there is a lack of studies that have been carried out on HABs in these locations specifically determining the collection and abundance of dinocyst. The study aimed to determine species assemblages of dinoflagellate cysts from three estuaries of Makassar Strait. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 8 May 2021 · 6,325 accessesView PDFCite
