From the Abstract: “During the Bremerhaven Workshop in the southern North Sea, REMOTS sediment profile lmages (SPI) were recorded in order to supplement the benthic component of the workshop and other environmentally relevant parameters investigated al
From the Abstract: “On a survey around three North Sea oil fields in 1980 the biodegradation of the hydrocarbons 14C-naphthalene and 14C-benzo[a]pyrene was measured.

From the Abstract: “Effects of an experimental pollution by neogenous and fossil organic matter on microphyto- and macrozoobenthic communities were studied in situ over a 1 yr period (July 1989 to May 1990) in a shallow microtidal bay (Gulf of Fos, sou
From the Abstract: “By using community parameters such as diversity of equitability, it has been shown that the [benthic] fauna responds with a dramatic drop in values of these measures closest to the platform.
From the Abstract: Sediment samples from Timbalier Bay, Louisiana, and the adjacent offshore area were analyzed for gain size distribution, percenteage of organic carbon, percentage of carbonate, and selected elements…The results of this study indicate
