Abstract

An analysis of regional hydrography and nutrient and suspended sediment chemistry data are analyzed for Boca de Quadra inlet and Resurrection Bay, Alaska. The character and transport of suspended sediments are discussed. Other topics include: benthic flux and near bottom reactions of heavy metals in fjords; deep water exchange in Alaskan sub-arctic fjords; sediment-seawater exchanges of nitrogen and transition metals in an Alaskan fjord; reaction and flux of manganese within the oxic sediment and basin water of an Alaskan fjord; deep water renewals in Resurrection Bay, Alaska; the behavior of iron; manganese, and zinc in a heavily polluted river-estuary system.

Technical Report Burrell, D

Work in progress is summarized. Individual reports are presented on the following research, which has been completed: benthic flux and near bottom reactions of heavy metals in fjords; deep water exchange in Alaskan sub-arctic fjords; sediment-seawater exchanges of nitrogen and transition metals in an Alaskan fjord; deep water renewals in Resurrection Bay, Alaska; the behavior of iron, manganese, and zinc in a heavily polluted river-estuary system. Six cruise reports for 1978 to 1979 are included, as is a list of reports and publications for the period 1975 through 1979.

Transport and reaction of heavy metals in Alaskan fjord estuaries. Annual report, July 1, 1980-May 31, 1981

Technical Report Burrell, D

The program investigates the potential effects of energy-related chemical pollution in Alaskan fjords. The long-term objective is to understand the chemical, physical, and biological processes responsible for the transport and reaction of heavy metals in these sub-arctic estuaries. The physical circulation and mixing processes, the nature and reactions of terrigenous organics and particulate sediment within the mixing zone, and aspects of the basin sediment oxygen, carbon and nutrient budgets in addition to study of individual metals are investigated. Mainly copper, iron and manganese are being studied since these provide information on physical-chemical processes common to, or greatly affecting, a muchmore »« less

Progress is reported on the following research projects; transport and reaction of heavy metals in Alaskan fjord-estuaries; suspended sediment dynamics; inorganic speciation of copper in estuarine environments; pollution of estuaries and confined coastal waters; deep-water current measurements in Resurrection Bay; and processes and fluxes controlling copper concentrations in an Alaskan fjord. Cruise reports are appended. (HLW)
Transport and reaction of heavy metals in Alaskan fjord-estuaries. Progress report, April 1, 1976--May 31, 1977

Technical Report Burrell, D

Results are reported from on analysis of the seasonal exchange of water between the inner basin of one typical S. Central Alaskan fjord (Resurrection Bay) and the Gulf of Alaska. This work entailed sampling on an approximately bimonthly interval for nearly four years. From this work it appeared that, at certain times of the year, the deep water of Resurrection Bay approximated a closed chemical system permitting study of the behavior of both conservative and (with ancillary information) non-conservative components. A study of the fluxes, sources and sinks for copper in this particular environment was therefore undertaken, and a briefmore »« less

Technical Report Burrell, D

Progress is reported on the following research projects: trace metal dynamics in estuaries of subarctic active fjords of southeast and south central Alaska; soluble chemical species of copper and lead in marine water; inorganic solid-liquid reactions across the fresh-marine water interface; and development of trace metal analysis techniques. The following reports on completed work are also presented: sedimentation in the Beaufort Sea; annual flushing of Resurrection Bay; texture, clay mineralogy, and chemistry of bottom sediments, west Beaufort Sea; observations of deep water currents in subarctic fjord; suspended sediment dynamics at the head of Queen Inlet, Glacier Bay; and techniques formore »« less
