Relationships of fine-grained glacial sediment and total organic carbon in Glacier Bay, Alaska
The relationship between marine geology and marine chemistry was explored in Glacier Bay by correlating sediment grain size to particulate organic carbon (POC.) Marine and alpine glaciers produce sediment in the bay. It was hypothesized that sediment from alpine glaciers would hold higher concentrat...

Summary: | The relationship between marine geology and marine chemistry was explored in Glacier Bay by correlating sediment grain size to particulate organic carbon (POC.) Marine and alpine glaciers produce sediment in the bay. It was hypothesized that sediment from alpine glaciers would hold higher concentrations of POC because of finer grain size. |
