Surface Sediments And Their Relationship To Water Quality In Hillsborough Bay, A Highly Impacted Subdivision Of Tampa Bay, Florida, J.O.R. Johansson, A.P. Squires
Reports
This paper will summarize the composition of surface sediment and sediment oxygen demand rated in Hillsborough Bay. Also, a first attempt is made to relate the nutrients released from these sediments to the phytoplankton, the dominant primary producers of the bay.
Distribution Patterns And Accumulation Rates Of Fine-Grained Sediments In Upper Tampa Bay, Florida, Gregg R. Brooks
Distribution Patterns And Accumulation Rates Of Fine-Grained Sediments In Upper Tampa Bay, Florida, Gregg R. Brooks
Reports
Tampa Bay, a drowned river valley, is the largest estuary on Florida's west coast.
Surface sediments consist of a mixture of carbonate and terrigenous clastic sands and muds.
The objectives of this study are to determine accumulation rates and processes controlling the distribution patterns of fine grain sediments.
