Composition of interstitial waters and forms of sulfur compounds in bottom sediments in the northeastern Black Sea

详细

Study of sediments and water column in the Black Sea has been carried out for a long time. However, issues of the formation of seawater and sediments in the geological (ancient) and Recent marine history remain debatable so far. Studies of the physical, biological, and biogeochemical settings in the northeastern part of the Black Sea carried out onboard the R/V Professor Shtokman in 2009 yielded new data on this region. The present paper reports the results of study of the chemical composition of bottom sediments and interstitial waters from the meridional profile extending from the Kerch Peninsula to the central part of the eastern deep-water depression.
