 | Each year, 400 million cubic yards of sediment are dredged in the United States of which 3 to 5 percent is polluted and cannot be used beneficially or returned to the environment near dredging sites. Disposal of this polluted, dredged material is a national problem. One solution to this problem is to relocate and isolate polluted dredged material to the seafloor of the abyssal ocean, considered to include those depths ... |

| This progress report covers field work and laboratory analysis efforts for quantifying the environmental threat of radioactive waste released in the Arctic seas adjacent to the former Soviet Union and for studying the various transport mechanisms by which this radioactivity could effect populations of the U.S. and other countries bordering the Arctic. We obtained water, sediment, biological samples and oceanographic data from several cruises to the Kara Sea and adjacent ... |

| This document reports on the results of an expedition to study bioluminescence in the western Alboran Sea of the Mediterranean in April of 1991. Two oceanographic research vessels and a research submersible were involved in making extensive measurements of bioluminescence and optical properties, as wall as related biological and physical parameters. The primary research tool used was the HIDEX, a high resolution, state-of-the-art bathyphotometer. The results reported here cover only ... |

 | An oceanographic cruise (NORTHERN LIGHT) was conducted during October 1989 in Vestfjord, Norway, to determine causes for spatial and temporal variability of bioluminescence at the end of the fall plankton bloom. Profiles of bioluminescence, chlorophyll fluorescence, beam attenuation coefficient and temperature suggested three different bioluminescence-related water types. Upper fjord and western fjord water showed high amounts of bioluminescence in the upper 10 to 20 m coinciding with a shallow thermocline ... |
