Gridded bathymetry from multibeam echosounder EM120 data of the cruise M72/5 (2007)

Bathymetry based on data recorded during M72-5 between 14.05.2007 and 06.06.2007 in the Black Sea. This cruise focused on the biogeochemical and microbiological processes around the oxic/anoxic interface of the chemocline in the water column and in shelf sediments as well as in the TOC-rich sediments of the deep Black Sea basins. A further important goal was to investigate the regional palaeo-climate on the basis of sedimentological analyses of early Holocene and previously deposited interglacial and limnic sediments.

Sulphur isotope composition in the Gulf of California and the Eastern Pacific

The book is devoted to study of diagenetic changes of organic matter and mineral part of sediments and interstitial waters of the Pacific Ocean due to physical-chemical and microbiological processes. Microbiological studies deal with different groups of bacteria. Regularities of quantitative distribution and the role of microorganisms in geochemical processes are under consideration. Geochemical studies highlight redox processes of the early stages of sediment diagenesis, alterations of interstitial waters, regularities of variations in chemical composition of iron-manganese nodules.

Geological, geochemical and biogeochemical data on boundary zones of the Atlantic Ocean

Results of studies in two biogeochemically active zones of the Atlantic Ocean (the Benguela upwelling waters and the region influenced by the Congo River run-off) are reported in the book. A multidisciplinary approach included studies of the major elements of the ocean ecosystem: sea water, plankton, suspended matter, bottom sediments, interstitial waters, aerosols, as well as a wide complex of oceanographic studies carried out under a common program. Such an approach, as well as a use of new methodical solutions led to obtaining principally new information on different aspects of oceanology.
