High resolution detection of the dissolved gas composition in aquatic systemsbynovel underwater mass spectrometry.
The quantification of methane fluxes from the sediment into the sea water (sediment-water-transition-zone) and the subsequent dispersal of methane in the hydrosphere are necessary to contribute to the knowledge of benthic biogeochemical cycles. Presently, typical studies about benthic biogeochemical...
