BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND RADIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF MARINE PLANKTON. Appendices to Reference No. 60-6 conducted during the Period May 15-December 31, 1959
The new oceanographic research required to evaluate radioactive waste disposal in the sea will include contributions from the disciplines of physical, chemical, geological, and biologlcal oceanography. Since the return of radioactivity to man will be principally through the biological cycle, the studies in marine biology will be emphasized. Problems are concerned with the disposal of low-level wastes in inshore coastal waters or estuaries and with the disposal of higher-level wastes in the open sea. Marine pollution problems in the North Atlantic are discussed. Data are presented from studies on plankton, oxidizable organic matter in the oceans, seasonal mixing in the ocean waters, strontium-90 from fall-out in the mixed layer of the Atlantic Ocean, and miscellaneous oceanographic research studies.
