Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences
The oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface, and are critical components of Earth’s climate system. This new edition of Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, Six Volume Set summarizes the breadth of knowledge about them, providing revised, up to date entries as well coverage of new topics in the field. New and expanded sections include microbial ecology, high latitude systems and the cryosphere, climate and climate change, hydrothermal and cold seep systems. The structure of the work provides a modern presentation of the field, reflecting the input and different perspective of chemical, physical and biological oceanography, the specialized area of expertise of each of the three Editors-in-Chie...
Index for Volumes 1-41
This series provides a venue for longer reviews of current advances in geophysics. Written at a level accessible to graduate students, the articles serve to broaden knowledge of various fields and may be useful in courses and seminars.

Field Study of the Effects of Storms on the Stability and Fate of Dredged Material in Subaqueous Disposal Areas
Long Island Sound is a large estuary. Dredged sediment placed on the bottom of the Sound is subject to dispersion by the tidal stream, estuarine circulation, waves, and disturbances of the hydraulic flow field by storms. The tidal stream is the dominant source of energy for the resuspension and transport of sediments; waves do not contribute significantly to dispersion in water depths greater than 60 ft. Random fluctuations in the water velocity are detected at all depths. The data obtained show that to best contain silt-clay dredged material, the disposal site should be on a naturally accreting mud bottom, the disposal operation should emplace a large volume of material on the site expeditiously, and the deposit should be built to an optimum configuration. The capacity of the disposal site is limited by the maximum height of the disposal mound and the maximum slope of the pile sides which present a minimum disturbance of the natural hydraulic regime. The capacity of the New Haven site is estimated to be up to 1.7 x 106 yd3 of unarmored, silty, dredged material. Larger volumes may be contained if the surface of the deposit is armored with coarser material.
Contaminated Sediments in Ports and Waterways
Contaminated marine sediments threaten ecosystems, marine resources, and human health. They can have major economic impacts when controversies over risks and costs of sediment management interfere with needs to dredge major ports. Contaminated Sediments in Ports and Waterways examines management and technology issues and provides guidance that will help officials make timely decisions and use technologies effectively. The book includes recommendations with a view toward improving decision making, developing cost-effective technologies, and promoting the successful completion of cleanup projects. The volume assesses the state of practice and research and development status of both short-term and longer-term remediation methods. The committee provides a conceptual overview for risk-based contaminated sediment management that can be used to develop plans that address complex technological, political, and legal issues and the interests of various stakeholders. The book emphasizes the need for proper assessment of conditions at sediment sites and adequate control of contamination sources.
