Burrell, D C

Baseline ecological and oceanographic studies were performed in Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula of South Central Alaska. Seasonal variations of chemical effluents were subject to the annual water circulation cycle; downward mixing and tidal mixing occur continuously but there was no wholesale advective replacement of the deepest water. Sedimentation and transport studies for copper and manganese are reported. (PSB)
