The penetration of oxygen into silty fjord sediments from northern Norway and SW Svalbard was studied at 6 sites during a research cruise to the northern Barents Sea. Profiles of oxygen were measured by microelectrodes on retrieved sediment cores in a thermostated flow aquarium and used to develop c...
