Physical processes and biogeochemistry of particle fluxes over the Beaufort slope and in Canada Basin

Sedimentation rates and compositions of sinking particles were investigated at three sites on the Beaufort slope and one in Canada Basin during the period 1990-1994 using moored sequential sediment traps. A method was developed to identify the terrigenous and biogenic components of the fluxes. The p...
