Through investigating the impact of these extreme weather events on both spatial and temporal scales in marine coastal ecosystems this project will be able to assess both the fluctuating levels of marine plastic debris, […]
Assessing the Flux of Buried Sedimentary Carbon to Marine Coastal Waters After Extreme Weather and Dredging
Humanity’s physical disturbance of the coastal seafloor has expanded considerably in recent decades through dredging, bottom trawling and more frequent severe storms. The natural ‘leak’ in the carbon cycle from burial of vast quantities of carbon in sediments and the removal of harmful persistent organic pollutants from aquatic ecosystems are essential services provided by sediments. […]
